The Hammadids, an offshoot of the Zirids, were a Berber dynasty who ruled an area roughly corresponding to modern Algeria for about a century and a half (1008-1152), until they were destroyed by the Almohads. Soon after coming to power, they rejected the Ismaili doctrine of the Fatimids, and returned to Maliki Sunnism, acknowledging the Abbasids as rightful Caliphs. [edit] Historical CapitalsTheir capital was at first Qalaat Beni Hammad; when this was endangered by the Banu Hilal who lead a Fatimid expedition against Zirids and Hammamids, they moved to Bejaia (in 1090.)
