Al-Mu'tamid ibn Abbad

Muhammad ibn Abbad al-Mu'tamid (Arabic:المعتمد بن عباد‎; reigned c. 1069–1091, lived 1040–1095) was the third and last ruler of the taifa of Seville in Al-Andalus. He was a member of the Abbadid dynasty.

When he was 13 years old Al-Mu'tamid's father made bestowed the title of Emir and appointed the Andalusi Arabic poet Ibn Ammar as his vizier. However, Al-Mu'tamid fell strongly under the influence of Ibn Ammar; and possibly in love. After one night of poetry and wine it was reported that Al-Mu'tamid insist they sleep together "on this same pillow." Al-Mu'tamid's father disapproved of the relationship and the influence of the vizier (not least because Ibn Ammar was a commoner) and sent him into exile in order to separate the two.
