Nasir ibn Alnas

An-Nasir ibn Alumnas (Arabic الناصر بن علناس; * before 1062, † 1088) was the fifth ruler of the Hammadids in Algeria ( 1062-1088 ).

An-Nasir came in 1062 after the assassination of Buluggin ibn Muhammad ( 1055-1062 ), its successor in Hammadidenreich in Algeria. With the decline of the Ziridenreichs in Ifriqiya, due to the invasion of the Banu Hilal (since 1051 ) was An-Nasir the influence of Hammadids in the Maghreb first expand. So vassals were used in Tunis and the areas controlled to Kairouan. Also the Ibadis from Sedrata ( 1077 ), the influence was extended in the northern Sahara after the expulsion. With the establishment of Bidschaya / Bougie as a second residence and the maritime trade became important to the economy. When removing Bidschaya to have been involved Italian architects and craftsmen. The far-reaching control of trade routes led to an upturn in the economy and in the heyday of the empire.

However, the stability of the empire was precarious, as the Bedouins of Banu Hilal began to seep after the conquest of Ifriqiya in the Hammadidenreich. First, it succeeded but adjust them as mercenaries and use them against the Moroccan Almoravids. Even if these conquered in 1081 parts of the Empire to the neighborhood of Algiers, they could still be stopped in 1082 with the help of the Bedouins. Although the Banu Hilal saved the Hammadids before the Almoravids, but could the Bedouins not be kept permanently under state control, which led to the decline of the empire. Successor of al-Nasir was his son Al- Mansur ibn al-Nasir ( 1088-1102 ).
