Overview
Al-Mu'izz ibn Ziri ibn Atiyya al-Maghrawi, the second of the Ziri rulers in Fez, and of the Maghrawa. All the Maghrawa gave him the allegiance after his father. He held firmly to the Amirid call. Then he asked Abd al-Malik al-Muzaffar to restore him to his governorship in return for money he would bring him, on condition that his son Mu'nasir should be a hostage in Cordoba. He agreed and restored him in 406 AH. 1
After his return
His cousin Mu'nasir rose against him and disputed Fez with him. His sons inherited the rule, until the Sanhaja commander Hammama Abu al-Atf overcame them in Fez and all their governorship. Ibn Khaldun says that their continuance lasted in the troubles until the state of the Almoravids. 1
The source names his cousin "Mu'nasir", which is also the name of his son in the same report, so the text needs to be checked.
