EI2, viewed 27 June 2022: (Ibn Mardanīs̲h̲: Abū ʻAbd Allāh Muḥammad b. Saʻd b. Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-D̲j̲ud̲h̲āmī or al-Tud̲j̲ībī , mentioned in the Christian chronicles under the name Rey Lobo or Lope, was a Spanish Muslim leader who was active in political and military affairs in the S̲h̲arḳ al-Andalus on the fall of the Almoravid empire, made himself master of Valencia and Murcia, and for 25 years contended with the new North African rulers, the Almohads, for the territories in the centre of al-Andalus. In regard to his name Ibn Mardanīs̲h̲, various theories have been advanced concerning his origin, which is evidently neither Arab nor Berber. According to Dozy, this name is a corruption of Martínez, whilst Codera supposes that it derives from Mardonius, one of his Byzantine ancestors)
Wikipedia, 27 June 2022: (Abū Abd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Saʻd ibn Mardanīsh: Abū ʻAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Saʻd ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Mardanīsh, called al-Judhāmī or al-Tujībī (born AD 1124 or 25 [AH 518], died AD 1172 [AH 568]) was the king of Murcia from AD 1147 (AH 542) until his death. He established his rule over the cities of Murcia, Valencia and Dénia as the power of the Almoravid emirate declined, and he opposed the spread of the Almohad caliphate. Christian sources refer to him as the "Wolf King" (Latin rex Lupus, Spanish rey Lobo or rey Lope))
