The Emirate of Bari was a short-lived Islamic state in Apulia, in what is now Italy, ruled by non-Arabs, probably Berbers and Black Africans.[1][2][3] Controlled from the South Italian city of Bari, it was established about 847 when the region was taken from the Byzantine Empire, but fell in 871 to the army of the Carolingian emperor Louis II.
- ^ Alex Metcalfe, The Muslims of Medieval Italy (Edinburgh University Press, 2009), p. 21: "there is an implication in [the name Sawdān] that he was originally from sub-Saharan Africa. A problematic reference to him in an unedited text ... again suggests that, like the previous commanders of the Muslim forces in Bari, they were not Arab."
