Caliphate of Cordoba

Hi everyone, this is some information I found os the caliphate of Cordoba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliphate_of_C%C3%B3rdoba

The Caliphate of Córdoba  was a state in Islamic Iberia ruled by theUmayyad dynasty along with a part of North Africa. The state, with the capital in Córdoba, existed from 929 to 1031. The region was formerly dominated by the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba (756–929). The period was characterized by an expansion of trade and culture, and saw the construction of masterpieces of al-Andalus architecture. In January 929, Abd-ar-Rahman III proclaimed himself caliph of Córdoba in place of his original title, Emir of Córdoba  'Amīr Qurṭuba). Abd-ar-Rahman III was a member of theUmayyad dynasty, which had held the title of Emir of Córdoba since 756.
The caliphate disintegrated during a civil war (the Fitna of al-Andalus) between the descendants of the last caliph, Hisham II, and the successors of his hayib, Al-Mansur. In 1031, after years of infighting, the caliphate fractured into a number of independent Muslim taifa (kingdoms).
