Overview
Abu Thabit Amir ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Yahya ibn Yaghmurasan, of the house of Zayyan. He shared with his brother Abu Said in regaining the kingdom of Tlemcen. 1
His career
Ibn Khaldun says this was after the disaster at Kairouan in 748 AH. He met al-Nasir, the son of Sultan Abu Inan, in wars for which his campaigns are known. He and his brother fought the Maghrawa and seized their lands. The Hafsids then captured him in the region of Bejaia, but his nephew Abu Hammu Musa escaped from among them and reached Tunis. His affair ended when Sultan Abu Inan took Tlemcen and their kingdom there ended. 1
