description The island of Sicily was conquered by Arab and Berber troops from North Africa during the 9th century. For the first hundred years, Muslim Sicily was a military base from which the Aghlabid emirs of Ifriqiyya launched successive attacks against mainland Italy. However, after 949, when the Fatimid caliph installed the Kalbid family as governors of Sicily, the capital of the island, Palermo, developed into a centre of Islamic culture and learning. By 973, the geographer Ibn Hawqal describes Sicily as the richest and most developed island held by the Muslims in the Mediterranean, and could even compare it to Umayyad Cordova. But Kalbid Sicily flourished for only about a century and, during the 1040s, the emirate disintegrated into several warring principalities, and the surrounding Christian powers took the opportunity to invade.
