Awlad Muhammad (orOuled Muhammed) was a tribe that ruled over theFezzan region from 1550 to 1812.[1][2] At their height, their domain extended fromSokna in the north toMurzuq in the south.[3]
Starting in 1577, the sultanate had to fend off against various attacks by theOttoman and theKaramanli dynasty which often resulted in the looting, capture or vassilization of Fezzan. Some of these campaigns were conducted in 1679-1682, 1690, 1716, 1718 and 1811/1812.[4][1][2]
