Ibn Jahhaff, previously a judge in the city of Valencia, became ruler of the
Taifa of Valencia after instigating a popular revolt with support of the pro-Almoravid faction against his predecessor
Yahya al-Qadir in 1092. This triggered
El Cid to invade and lay siege to the city of Valencia. After the fall of the city in June 17 1094, Ibn Jahhaff was captured and executed, most likely by burning. ==External links==
