Abd Al-Rahman was a prince of the Umayyad Dynasty in Damascus. His family was dethroned and killed by the new Abbasid Dynasty but he survived and fled to Spain, persecuted by horsemen of the Abbasids. There, he overthrew the wali (governor) of Cordova and proclaimed himself emir, thus restoring the Umayyad Dynasty in the farthest territory of the Caliphate. A real fairytale story.
