THE CRUSADES
THE ALMORAVIDS
The Almoravids, also known as the Murabits, were a fundamentalist Islamic movement of the 11[SUP]th[/SUP] and 12[SUP]th[/SUP] Centuries. Founded by Ibn Yasin, in southern Morocco, they combined devotion to Islam with a fierce military tradition, and a desire to conquer. In 1070, the Almoravids established their capital city at Marrakesh, which at the time, was little more than a mosque in the desert surrounded by the tents of the faithful.
