“	A brother of Abd al-Malik, Ahmad al-Mansur experienced a similarly tumultuous childhood thanks to the villainy of his relatives in power. Narrowly escaping execution, Ahmad al-Mansur fled with his brother to Ottoman territory in modern- day Algeria, where he immersed himself in the Ottoman world and made several important contacts. When the ineffectual Mohammed II seized power in Morocco in 1574, Abd al-Malik and Ahmad al-Mansur returned to their homeland with an Ottoman army, handily defeating Sultan Mohammed II in several battles. Their crowning victory at Alcacer Quibir in 1578 eliminated their rival and his Portuguese allies, but Abd al-Malik perished of illness. The throne fell to Ahmad al- Mansur, who ruled Morocco for another 35 years before dying of the plague in 1603.	”
