Summary
Description Northern Palestine under the Zaydans.png |
English:
Map of northern Palestine, including the Galilee, the Haifa area, the Marj Ibn Amer plain (Jezreel Valley), and parts of the Hula Valley and Jabal Amil, under the Banu Zaydan. The Zaydans were a family of local tax farmers and chiefs who came to rule parts of this area from the 1690s. Under the Zaydani sheikh Zahir al-Umar, the family controlled the entire area by ca. 1750.
The map shows the towns and villages mentioned in the sources during this period. Fortresses and fortified villages are distinguished from unwalled places. The seats of Zahir al-Umar are marked in red: Tiberias became his seat from 1730 until the early-to-mid 1740s. Afterward, Deir Hanna served as his headquarters until he completed the wall around Acre, which became his seat by 1750. The seats of other Zaydani chiefs, namely Zahir's uncles, cousins, brothers and sons, are marked in orange.
The map also shows villages destroyed by the Zaydans, namely the Druze village of Sallama and the original port town of Haifa, which he rebuilt at a site nearby. Sources:
