In the 11th century, the Muslim Taifa states were often engaged in fighting each other whilst being vulnerable to the increasingly ambitious Christian Kingdoms of the north. This opened the door for two successive groups of Muslim Berbers who emerged from the fringes of the Sahara Desert and were able to assert their authority over al-Andalus from the end of the 11th century until the beginning of the 13th century. Both the Almoravids and Almohads would play key roles in the story of Muslim Iberia; with both emerging at important junctures when the Christian Reconquista was gaining significant momentum. These two energetic and ferocious Berber groups proved to be worthy foes of the Christian Kingdoms, putting a stop to the momentum of the Reconquista, even if it was just temporarily.
