Life

edit

Ali was the son of Muhammad ibn Idris, whom he succeeded in March/April 836 at the age of nine.[1] During his infancy, the chieftains of the Berber tribes acted as his regents.[1] He proved an able ruler, who managed to stabilize and pacify the Idrisid realm after the troubled reign of his father.[1] During his reign, Idrisid authority was strengthened and stretched from Basra to Tudgha.[2] Some Idrisid troops reportedly also participated in the 846 Sack of Rome by Aghlabid raiders.[2]

Ali died in January 849 at Fes and was succeeded by his brother Yahya I.[3]
