Overview
Al-Qasim ibn Hammud ibn Maymun al-Idrisi, brother of Ali ibn Hammud al-Nasir, of the Banu Hammud. 1
In al-Andalus
Ibn Khaldun says that al-Qasim and his brother were close to Sulayman ibn al-Hakam al-Musta'in when the Berbers set him up as caliph in al-Andalus, and they served him well in his rule, so he appointed them over Algeciras. 1
The caliphate
When his brother Ali died, al-Qasim took the caliphate after him and was given the title "al-Ma'mun". His nephew Yahya ibn Ali disputed the affair with him after his father, and Yahya prevailed. Ibn Khaldun counts him among the last caliphs of the Banu Hammud in Cordoba. 1
