        Note:
        The history of Seville got off to a bad start--under its first independent ruler, the cunning, cruel al-Mutadid, who took control of the"taifa" (little kingdom) and extended it during his reign from 1042 to1069. But fortunately, he was succeeded by a son, al-Mutamid, a giftedstatesman, intellectual and poet. Under the poet-king al-Mutamid, Seville achieved a brief respite from struggle and some moments of beauty thathave passed into legend.

        Before al-Mutamid became king he met Ibn Ammar, an itinerant and brilliant poet, forged a friendship with him and, when he gained the throne, made him vizier of the kingdom. Together one evening, al-Mutamidand Ibn Ammar were strolling along the banks of the Guadalquivir,bantering and improvising poetry.
        Al-Mutamid started off with a line--"The wind scuffs the river and makesit chain mail . . ."--which Ibn Ammar was supposed to complete. For once,however, Ibn Ammar was at a loss for words to end the couplet and a slave girl nearby overheard them and completed the rhyme: "Chain mail for fighting could water avail."

        The girl was al-Rumaikiyya, a lovely and charming mule-skinner. (For some reason mule drivers often seem to be romantically associated with poetry in Spain.) Al-Mutamid instantly fell in love with her, later married herand, eventually, when war again engulfed the taifa, romantically sailed wit h her into exile.
