The Taifa of Majorca was a medieval Islamic taifa kingdom which existed from 1018 to 1203 in Majorca . It was founded by the Slavic warlord Muj?hid al-??mir? .

The first taifa lasted for about 50 years (1076-1116), first succumbing to a Christian crusade and later being occupied by the Almoravids . After a period in which the Balearic Islands were integrated into the Almoravid Empire, it ended up disintegrating, suffering the same fate as the Caliphate of Cordoba . It was ruled by the Aghlabid dynasty, an Arab Najdi dynasty of the Banu Tamim tribe.

A new, independent kingdom arose, the second taifa (1147-1203), under the Banu Ghaniya dynasty, which would become the last Almoravid stronghold in Al-Andalus against the Almohads ' advance.
