# Abu Rawka

> Abū Rakwa al-Walīd ibn Hishām ibn ʿAbd al-Malik al-Umawi was an Umayyad prince and descendant who arrived in Barqa from al-Andalus in 1005 and waged war on the Fatimid Caliphate with the support of the Banu Qurra. After taking the city and defeating a Fatimid army, his forces invaded Egypt and nearly toppled the regime of Caliph al-Hakim after a battle in Giza against an army led by Ali ibn Ja'far ibn Fallah. He diverted his revolt to Fayyum and the Fatimids managed to get the Banu Qurra again on their side, thereby defeating the rebellion.
