Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yahia Ben Bakr was an important Mozarab (Iberian Christian living under Muslim domination) figure in Medieval Portugal. Yahia Ben Bakr was of Jewish descent, the son of a Bakr Ben Yahia (not to be confused with Yahia Ben Bakr''s son, also called Bakr Ben Yahia). He was related to or a descendant (possibly a grandson) of Yahia Ben Yahi III, a Sephardi Jew. Yahia Ben Yahi III had been entrusted by King Afonso I of Portugal with the post of supervisor of tax collection. He was also nominated the first Chief-Rabbi of Portugal. At some point, some of Yahia Ben Yahi III''s descendants seem to have converted to Christianity. Yahia Ben Bakr was succeeded in office by his son, Bakr Ben Yahia. Both Ben Bakr and Ben Yahia held political office and executed important construction in the city of Faro. They are credited with constructing the actual city walls, as wellas the iron gates around the perimeter of the city. It is during this time that they brought the image of Mary as it is stated in the songs by King Alfonso X of Castile.
