Habbus al-Muzaffar
Habbus bin Maksen al-Muzaffar, of the Zirid dynasty, was ruler of the Taifa of Granada from 1019 to 1038.[1] He was the successor to his uncle Zawi ben Ziri. His first Vizier was Samuel ibn Naghrillah, the renowned Jewish scholar and politician. Under his rule, the prestige of the teif was greatly increased, and he carried out military campaigns against neighbor states, increasing Granada's territory. The Jewish population in the city increased to 5,000, and Lucena flourished as a Jewish scholarly site.
He had two sons, Badis and Buluggin, and was succeeded by Badis.

gollark: My school still hasn't really explained what they plan to do to reopen safely, and the term starts in about 2.5 weeks.
gollark: I mean, in lots of cases big companies actually *don't* have enough money to, say, cover several months of zero revenue.
gollark: Expensive yes, but "damaging for space"? Who cares? Besides, there are ridiculous amounts of asteroids.
