Sulayman I of Tlemcen

Sulaymān I, (full name Sulaymān Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Kāmil, Arabic: سليمان بن عبد الله الكامل), sometimes called Sidi Sliman or Moulay Slimane, was the brother of Idris I of Morocco, son of the great grandson of the caliph Ali and Fatima, daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was probably born around 730 and died in 814,[1] perhaps in Ain El Hout in the province of Tlemcen in Algeria.[2]

According to Ibn Khaldoun, he reached Tlemcen after the assassination of his brother Idris I in 791 and took control of it.[3] But according to Ibn Idhari and Al-Bakri, he would have settled in Tlemcen while his brother was alive and probably with his approval.[4] This is the version retained by historians Philippe Sénac and Patrice Cressier who indicate that Sulaymān I was governor of Tlemcen between 786 and 813.[5] However, according to other ancient Arab authors, he would not have escaped the massacre of Fakh and would have died in June 786.[6]

He gives his name to the Sulaymanid dynasty in Algeria, being the father of Muḥammad who already governed the region in 806.[6]
