Biography

Abd al-Aziz was born on the day his father Al-Mansur ibn al-Nasir ascended the throne. He succeeded his brutal brother Badis in 1105. Badis had dismissed his brother from his governorship of Algiers and was relegated to Jijel. Abd al-Aziz then returned from Jijel to Bejaia to exercise power.{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_7sLjxy3gq2EC|title=Histoire des Berbères et des dynasties musulmanes de l'Afrique Septentrionale: (1854. 635 p.)|last=Muhammad Ibn Jaldún|first=Abd al-Rahman b.|publisher=Imprimerie du Gouvernement|others=Translated by William McGuckin de Slane|year=1854|pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_7sLjxy3gq2EC/page/n62 55]|language=fr}}
