People connected to Al-Walid I
Sixth Umayyad caliph who ran the caliphate from 705 to 715. Before taking power, he spent years raiding the Byzantines and fortifying Syria's desert routes—the kind of prep work that tends to stick in the historical record.
Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, commonly known as al-Walid I, was the sixth Umayyad caliph, ruling from October 705 until his death in 715. He was the eldest son of his predecessor, Caliph Abd al-Malik. As a prince, he led annual raids against the Byzantines from 695 to 698 and built or restored fortifications along the Syrian Desert route to Mecca. He became heir apparent in c. 705, after the death of the designated successor, Abd al-Malik's brother Abd al-Aziz ibn Marwan.
