"In
882 [1471], the town was attacked and invaded by the Portuguese. Its
people were all taken to Portugal as slaves. Amongst them was Mohammed,
the present Sultan of Fes. He was only seven years old at the time,
and was captured along with one of his sisters. In those days, their
father was leading a rebellion in the province of Habat, and living
in Arzilla." (Leo, 260)
