Muhammad IV of Granada

  • ... that according to Muslim sources, Muhammad IV of Granada was assassinated due to his alliance with Sultan Abu al-Hasan, while Christian sources say it was due to his closeness to King Alfonso XI?
    Source: "Ibn Khaldun states that the Banu Abi l-'Ula family "disapproved of the alliance of the king [Muhammad IV] with [the Marinid Sultan] Abu l-Hasan and formed a conspiracy that ended in the assassination of the sovereign". Fernández-Puertas 1997 p.7. "Ibn Khaldun sees the rebels as troubled by Muhammad's Marinid contacts, whereas the Castilian Chronicle explains his downfall as due to his Castilian contacts. Just before his death, Muhammad had been in negotation with Alfonso XI, and they had banqueted together, and exchanged presents." (Harvey p.188)
