The Taifa of Mértola was a medieval taifa Moorish kingdom that existed in what is now southeastern Portugal. It existed three distinct periods: from 1033 to 1044, from 1144 to 1145 and from 1146 to 1151. From 1044 until 1091 it was under the forcible control of Seville, by Abbad II al-Mu'tadid.[1] Its short-lived history ended in 1151, when it was finally conquered by the Almohad Caliphate.
