The Battle of er Rias took place in 1329, in er-Rias near a town named Mermadjenna in the land of the Hawwars[1] between the troops of the Hafsid caliph Abu Yahya Abu Bakr against army of the Zayanid sultan Abu Tashfîn,commanded by Yahya Ibn Moussa, Omar Ibn Hamza (leader of the nomadic tribes of Ifriqiya)as well as the Hafsid pretender, Mohamed Ibn Abu Umran who used to be the governor of Tripoli.
Battle[]
After having had time to prepare his soldiers, Abu Yahya Abu Bakr set out to intercept Abu Tashfîn's army. The two armies face each other in er-Rias in the land of the Hawwars. Abu Tashfîn's army simulates a retreat in order to lure the Hafsid army into mountainous terrain where they can take advantage of the position.[2] Arab contingents of the Hafsid army join the Ziyanids, contributing to their victory[1].[2]
Consequences[]
The Hafsid sultan was wounded, the women of his family and his two sons, Ahmed and Omar, fell into the hands of the Ziyanids and were sent to Tlemcen. Abu Yahya takes refuge in Constantine,[2][3] or Annaba[1]. Following this victory, the Ziyands marched on Tunis and occupied the city.
