Abú Yahya

Abu Yahya Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Abi Imran at- Tinmalali (Arabic أبو يحيى محمد بن علي, DMG Abu Yahya Muhammad b. ʿ Alī ) was the last Wali used by the Almohads on the Balearic island of Mallorca. When the force King James I of Aragon on New Year's 1229, after four months of siege, the island's capital Madīnat MAYURQA that today's Palma conquered, he fell into the hands of the Christians. Previously, he had made them an offer to surrender the city unharmed and to pay for transportation of the Muslim islanders to North Africa per capita a price equal to the equivalent of four chickens. James I had agreed to this offer, but it was rejected by the majority of men in his army because they had promised much more profit from the storming and plundering of the city. About Abu Yahya's fate after the conquest is unknown because it is not mentioned in the sources.
