Overview
Abu Yahya ibn Abd al-Haqq al-Marini, son of Abd al-Haqq ibn Mahyu, who took charge of the Banu Marin after his brother Muhammad. 1
His rule
Ibn Khaldun describes him as the one who restored the affairs of the Banu Marin, conqueror of the cities, and maintainer of royal customs. He came to power in 642 AH after his brother Muhammad died at Wadi Yabash. 1
Division of the land
One of the first things he did was to divide the lands of the Maghrib and the tax-paying tribes among the Marinid clans, settling each of them in a region that sufficed for their livelihood. He gathered many followers and their armies grew. He set in order the kingdom's administration and its instruments and customs for those who would come after him. 1
