Overview
The sultan Abu al-Hasan al-Marini set out for Ifriqiya in Safar 748 AH, and entered Tunis in Jumada al-Akhira of the same year. 1
Cause and march
He set out after news reached him of the death of the sultan Abu Bakr of the Hafsids and his heir. The people of the borders met him at Oran and gave him their allegiance. 1
Entry
He entered Tunis in a celebration. Bejaia and Constantine submitted to him, and he sent their Hafsid princes to the Maghrib with their fiefs. His soldiers pursued the fleeing Amir Abu Hafs until they caught him in the land of al-Hamma, killed him and sent his head. 1
The Gregorian date is derived from the Hijri date.
