Banū Sālim

The Banū Sālim was a Masmuda Berber lineage prominent in the Middle March of Al-Andalus between the 8th and 10th centuries. They are generally regarded as clients of the Umayyads, acting as tax collectors (amilun) and sometimes as military governors (qā'idūn).[1] They are often identified with the Banū al-Faray with whom they shared a common nasab.[2] They controlled an area in the eastern part of the Middle March that included places such as Medinaceli, Madrid, Atienza, Alcalá, and Guadalajara (which was their main stronghold).[3] They lost territorial power when they were routed from Guadalajara in 920 under Emir Abd al-Rahman III of Córdoba.[4][5]
