Muhammad III of Córdoba
Muhammad bin 'Abd ar-Rahman bin 'Obayd Allah (Arabic: محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن عبيد الله), known as Muhammad III (محمد الثالث) was the 10th Caliph of the Caliphate of Córdoba.
Muhammad III was abruptly selected as caliph on 17 January 1024 when a mob of unemployed workmen attacked the Alcázar palace and deposed the existing caliph, Abd ar-Rahman V. At the time, the capital city of Córdoba was unstable. Intent upon returning the rule of Córdoba back to the Umayyads, the citizens had put Abd ar-Rahman V on the throne in December 1023 and then allowed him to rule only 47 days.
Muhammad III was selected to succeed Abd ar-Rahman V by the mob.
Muhammad III ruled Córdoba from 1024 to 1025. Muhammad III's reigned was marked by instability, like his predecessor. In May 1025, he learned about a plot by Yahya ibn Ali ibn Hammud al-Mu'tali to depose him and fled, sneaking from Córdoba disguised as a singer.
Weeks later it is believed that Muhammad III was poisoned by a courtier that had accompanied him in his flight.
Muhammad III is known as the father of the famous poet Wallada bint al-Mustakfi, whom he had with an Iberian Christian slave.
