Overview
Fez is one of the cities and capitals of the Maghrib. Uthman ibn Abd al-Haqq al-Marini imposed a set tax on it in return for an end to raids against it. It then became the seat of the Banu Marin, and Sultan Abu Yusuf laid out the new city beside it as a residence for himself and his army, according to Ibn Khaldun. 1
