Banu Ashqilula

The Banu Ashqilula were the governors or arraeces of Málaga and Guadix.[1] Their assistance to Muhammad ibn al-Ahmar in founding the Emirate of Granada and their later opposition to al-Ahmar's successors made the Asqilula one of the most influential families of the 13th century Spain. The Ashqilula were one of the clans who were able to maneuver themselves into positions of prominence and influence under the rule of the Nasrid Dynasty.[2] The family first rose to prominence in 1232 when their leader Abu'l Hasan Ali Ibn Ashqilula al-Tujibi helped the Nasrid dynasty during the conquest of Granada. For the first twenty years of Nasrid rule in Granada, the Ashqilula worked closely with al-Ahmar in his early endeavors, like the short lived conquest of Seville.[3] As reward for their service, the Asqilula were granted governorships in the Nasrid territories of Málaga, Guadix and Baza.[4]

gollark: Memory safety issues are especially problematic in things like browsers, so avoiding them is definitely worth something.
gollark: > google blames c/c++ and its lack of warnings to devs about memory issues for most of the critical bugs in chrome<@528315825803755559> I mean, it's a fair criticism. You can avoid them if you have a language (like Rust) which makes them actual compile errors.
gollark: Well, if it's just "one column picked from each row, one combination of columns is valid", and there's no other information, I don't see how you can do it without brute force, which is impractical because there are apparently 1329227995784915872903807060280344576 (4^60) combinations.
gollark: So 60 rows and 4 columns, or...?
gollark: I can... do some CSS/HTML, sure.
