The Raid of 904 (Arabic : الغزو سنة ٢٩١ , Al-Ġazw sana 291 ; in Catalan , Ràtzia de 904 ) was a military campaign (غزو , ġazw ) of the Emirate of Córdoba against the counties of Pallars and Ribagorza .
Background
In August 872, Bernard of Gothia was assassinated by a vassal of Bernard Plantapilosa , and Oliba II was reinstated at the head of the counties of Carcassona and Rasés , while Plantapilosa governed Toulouse and Limoges . Pallars and Ribagorza escaped his control, since the supporters of the assassinated count founded a new dynasty started by count Raymond I of Pallars and Ribagorza .
In 897, Lubb ibn Muhammad ibn Lubb Al-Qasawi attacked the county of Barcenona , killing count Wilfred on the battlefield, on August 11 of that year. Soon after, his army seized Tutila , Tarasuna , Al-Lawa , Tulaytula and ravaged Jaiyan 's countryside.
Raid of 904
In 904, Lubb ibn Muhammad departed from Madīnat Balagî with his army,[ 1] in order to confront Raymond I of Pallars and Ribagorza ; successfully seizing the castles of Sarroca de Bellera , Castissent and Mola de Baró , achieving the greatest extension of his domains. His forces ravaged and plundered the entire Pyrenean county , killing some 700 people and taking about 1,000 war captives [ 2] —among them the count's own son, Isarn .
Consequences
In 905, his ally Fortún Garcés [ 2] was deposed by Sancho I of Navarre (with the help of the count of Pallars). In 907, Lubb ibn Muhammad tried to help Fortún by attacking Pamplona , but the results of the expedition were disastrous. Soon after, Lubb fell in an ambush prepared by Sancho of Navarre, and was assassinated.
Isarn , who was held captive in Tutila ,[ 3] was released in 918.[ 4]
