The Kingdom of Tlemcen was ruled by the Zayyanid (Abd al-Wadid) dynasty, a Berber dynasty that emerged from the break-up of the Almohad Caliphate. It controlled much of what is now western Algeria and was often attacked by the Marinids and Hafsids. The Ottomans annexed it to the Regency of Algiers in 1556.
