Biography[]
| “ | Little is known of Mohammed II of the Saadi dynasty in modern-day Morocco. After assuming the throne in 1574, he conducted a purge of his immediate family members that made him vastly unpopular. Things went from bad to worse when his uncle, Abd al-Malik, returned from exile in 1576 with an Ottoman army and made short work of his rival in a series of decisive battles. Reeling from these defeats, Mohammed II enlisted the aid of the Portuguese, who had their own designs in the region. Their combined army met Abd al-Malik's force at Alcacer Quibir in 1578 and was handily defeated, losing his own life in the process. | ” |
