Ahmad al-Mansur
Ahmad al-Mansur [al-Mansur,=the victorious], d. 1603, emir of Morocco (1578-1603). Proclaimed ruler after his brother's death at the battle of Ksar el Kebir , he gained prestige from the victory over Portugal. In addition, the ransom of the Portuguese captives made him wealthy. He was able to give Morocco a quarter-century of relative peace and prosperity. His conquest of Timbuktu (1590-91) marked the peak of Morocco's extension into the territory S of the Sahara. The cost of maintaining an army at so great a distance prevented him from gaining any permanent benefit from the conquest. He engaged in a commercial correspondence with Queen Elizabeth I of England and encouraged foreign trade.
