The Taifa of Badajoz (from Arabic: Ta'waif al-Batalyaws) was a Muslim kingdom centred on the city of Badajoz which exists today as the first city of Extremadura, in Spain.[1] It rose, like the other Taifa kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula, after the fragmentation of Al-Andalus (the Caliphate of Cordoba) in the late 900s and early 1000s, and ruled by the Aftasid dynasty.
It was invaded and conquered several times, by various neighbouring kingdoms, the Almoravids and Almohads (along with many other Muslim kingdoms), and finally by the Christian Portugal and Kingdom of León-Castile.
