Predecessor
  

Mohammed II al-Mahdi (Arabic: محمد الثاني ، المهدي‎‎) was the fourth Caliph of Cordoba, of the Umayyad dynasty in the Al-Andalus (Moorish Iberia). After disbanding his army of 7,000 troops, he became the source of opposition to many of his subjects. al-Mahdi sought to defend his title as Caliph after the rise of Suleiman II as a political opponent. After a turbulent rule, in which many warring factions rose to power in an attempt to supplant al-Mahdi, he was eventually deposed. After his death, many Muslim historians accused him of destroying the sanctity of the Amirid Harem.
