Best Answer

Abd al-Rahman I founded the Umayyad Dynasty in Cordoba after he fled the coup d'etat by the Abbassids against the Umayyad Caliphate based in Damascus. Abd al-Rahman was the only Umayyad Survivor, but was able to flee beyond the control of the Abbassids by taking over the Spanish territories of the Caliphate.

What dynasty replaced the Umayyad?

It depends on which Umayyad Caliphate you are talking about. The Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus from 660 C.E. to 750 C.E. was overthrown by a coup d'état led by the Abbassid Family. The Abbassids remained in power from 750 C.E. to 1258 C.E. but lost a significant amount of power by the year 1000 C.E. The Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba from 711 C.E. to 1038 C.E. ended when the final Caliph, Hisham III, died without any successors. The Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba splintered into over 30 different minor city-state kingdoms called Taifas.
