Biographical Record

Yahya II ibn Yahya succeeded his father Yahya I as Sultan of the Idrisid kingdom in 863 AD. Residing in the royal palace of Fez, his brief reign witnessed intense commercial growth as Fez consolidated its position as the premier intellectual and economic hub of the western Maghreb.

Under his administration, the city completed its major expansion projects across the two banks of the Fez river, welcoming scholars, calligraphers, and traders from Cordoba, Kairouan, and the Orient. His reign established civic frameworks that defined Fez for a thousand years.
