About the battle
The Hammadid capture of Béja in 1015 was an important military encounter between the Hammadid dynasty led by Hammad ibn Buluggin and the Zirid dynasty, led by Hashim, the best general of Badis ibn Al-Mansur. This occurred during the Hammadid–Zirid War, which ultimately resulted in the independence of the Hammadid emirate, thus splitting the previous Zirid domains into two independent emirates.
