The Taifa of Carmona (Arabic: طائفة قرمونة) was a medieval Berber taifa kingdom. It existed for two distinct periods: first from 1013 to 1066 when it was conquered by the Taifa of Seville, and secondly from around 1143 to 1150 when it was finally conquered by the Almohad Caliphate. The taifa was established and ruled by the Zenata Berber Birzalid dynasty.
Origins
The Banu Birzal was a Zenata Berber tribe settled in the Zab region and belonging to the confederations of the central Maghreb (Maghreb al-Awsat).
