Habbus al-Muzaffar
Habbus bin Maksen al-Muzaffar (Arabic: حبوس بن ماكسن بن زيري), of the Zirid dynasty, was ruler of the Taifa of Granada from 1019 to 1038.[1] He was the successor to his uncle Zawi ben Ziri. His first Vizier was Samuel ibn Naghrillah, the renowned Jewish scholar and politician. Under his rule, the prestige of the taifa was greatly increased, and he carried out military campaigns against neighbor states, increasing Granada's territory. The Jewish population in the city increased to 5,000, and Lucena flourished as a Jewish scholarly site.
He had two sons, Badis and Buluggin, and was succeeded by Badis.
