EspañolYUSUF IBN 'ABD AL-RAHMAN AL-FIHRI
'Yusuf ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Fihri' was the Umayyad governor of Narbonne in Septimania and later governor of al-Andalus from 747 to 756, ruling independently following the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate in 750. Between 716 and 756, al-Andalus was ruled by governors sent from Damascus or appointed on the recommendation of emirs of Ifriqiya to which it administratively belonged.[1]
After becoming ruler, al-Fihri conducted a census,[2] as part of which Bishop Hostegesis prepared a list of tax and jizya payers. The bishop then made annual visits to makes sure the taxes were collected properly.[3]
He led a campaign against the Basques of Pamplona in 755 but was defeated[4] and is said to have horrified tribal sensibilities by raping two of Abd ar-Rahman's slaves, thus contributing to the factional conflicts in al-Andalus at that time.[5]
Yusuf al-Fihri was defeated at the Battle of Musarah[6] just outside Córdoba in March 756 by Abd ar-Rahman I, who, having fled Syria in 755 to escape from the Abbasids, became the first Emir of Córdoba.
