Overview
What happened
In the battle their caliph, the weak one, was killed, and their vizier Ibn Atush. Those seized in Marrakesh had their necks struck. 1
Ibn Khaldun says that the tombs of the Banu Abd al-Mu'min's caliphs were scattered, and the heads of Yusuf and his son Ya'qub al-Mansur were cut off after their bodies had been dug up. He attributes this to Abu Ali al-Miliyani. He says the sultan disapproved of the act, then overlooked it. 1
Ibn Khaldun says that the line of the Banu Abd al-Mu'min was cut off by this. That is the narrator's judgement, not the museum's; the report comes from a single source and needs an additional source.
