Ziyadat Allah III of Ifriqiya

Abu Mudhar Ziyadat Allah III (Arabic: أبو مضر زيادة الله الثالث‎) (died 916) was the eleventh and last Emir of the Aghlabids in Ifriqiya (903–909). He came to power after the murder of his father Abdallah II on 27 July 903. He immediately had all his brothers and uncles executed to eliminate any possible rivals. While this massacre secured his position in the short term, the Aghlabid dynasty lost any remaining prestige it had in the eyes of the people.
