Something wrong?The tenth Umayyad caliph held the throne for nearly two decades in the early eighth century - a span that would prove longer than most of his dynasty's rulers managed, and long enough for his line to survive the empire's eventual collapse and plant itself in Spain.

Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan took power in 724, somewhere in his early thirties, and ruled until his death nineteen years later on 6 February 743. His caliphate stretched across the better part of two decades during the Umayyad dynasty's height. The bloodline carried: his grandson Abd al-Rahman I, born in 731, would outlive the dynasty's fall in the east and go on to found the Emirate of Córdoba in 756, ensuring the family name endured in Al-Andalus long after Damascus was lost.
