المرتزقة بجيش المنصور بن أبي عامر و أثرهم على نهاية الخلافة الأموية بالأندلس 422ه 1031م

Abstract EN

This study aims to shed light on an aspect of the Andalusian history in the fourth century's second half AH and the fifth century's first half AH.

It focuses on one of the means that Al-Mansour bin Abi Amer used to achieve his goals: reaching the hierarchy of power by demolishing the Umayyads' status, subjugating his opponent, politicians and armymen, excluding Andalusian castles men, and isolating the caliph and his mother.

Al-Mansour relied on the army as a basic pillar to achieve his goals, as it is one of the king's power' strong foundations.

Al-Mansour was able to tighten the reins of the army through bringing a large number of loyal mercenaries which enabled him to be the first master of Andalusia and the Sultan's companion.

This change in the army of Al-Mansour's results, which affected the unity of Andalusia, will be addressed.

Political parties formed against him and his army automatically and they waited for the favorable opportunity to get rid of his intruders.

This was reflected by the Qurtubian strife that ended the Umayyad Caliphate in Andalusia.

Andalusia's unity was dispersed and rival sectarian kingdoms emerged, as some of their kings were leaders in Al-Mansour's mercenary army.
