Maysara al-Matghari

Maysar al-Matghari (Berber: Maysar Amteghri or Maysar Amdeghri, Arabic: ميسرة المطغري; sometimes rendered Maisar or Meicer; in older Arab sources, bitterly called: al-Ḥaqir ('the ignoble'); died in September/October 740) was a Berber rebel leader and original architect of the Great Berber Revolt that erupted in 739-743 against the Umayyad Muslim empire. However, he was deposed by the rebels, replaced with another Berber leader, and died or possibly was executed by them in 740. The Berber Revolt succeeded 3 years after his death in defeating the Umayyad armies.
