Maghrawa

The Maghrawa or Meghrawa (Arabic: المغراويون) were a large Zenata Berber tribal confederation whose cradle and seat of power was the territory located on the Chlef in the north-western part of today's Algeria,[1][2][3] bounded by the Ouarsenis to the south, the Mediterranean Sea to the north and Tlemcen to the west.[4][5] They ruled these areas on behalf of the Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba at the end of the 10th century and during the first half of the 11th century.
