Barghawata

Barghawata are branches of the Masmuda. Their homelands were on the Atlantic coast of the far Maghrib, around Tamasna and its surroundings. ¹

A state arose among them on a religion invented by their chief Yunus ibn Ilyas, who claimed prophethood and legislation in it, according to Ibn Khaldun's account. They followed it for generations, and fought the rulers around them, among them the Zanata, the Sanhaja and the Marinids. ¹

Buluggin ibn Ziri and the Umayyad rulers pressed on them until their state perished, and their traces remained among the coastal tribes until the period of the Almoravids. ¹

Note on the data: the summary places the founding of their state "in the late pre-Islamic period", which contradicts the rest of the entry's references to the Zanata, the Sanhaja and the Umayyads, so this phrase has been left out. A second source is needed to fix the date of its founding.
