The Banu Isam were a Berber Muslim dynasty that ruled Ceuta, present-day Spain, for four generations. The town had been destroyed in a rebellion, and was lying waste; sometime in the middle of the 9th century, Mâjakas, chief of the Berber Majkasa tribe, resettled it and founded a dynasty that ruled the town until the Umayyads took it over in 931.[1][2]
Its kings were:
Mâjakas
`Isâm, son of Mâjakas
Majîr, son of `Isâm
Ridâ, son of `Isâm (?-931), who paid allegiance to the Idrisids, but surrendered the city to the Umayyads when the Idrisid capital fell.

Lecomte, (Brill, 1995), 690; " It was a refuge for Arab forces during the Kharidjite rebellion, an Idrisid principality (it was allegedly occupied by Idris I in 173/789-90), as the capital of the Banu 'Isam, who appear more as an independent dynasty than as Idrisid governors, occupied by the Umayyads of Cordova in 319/931 and became a pawn in the struggle against the Fatimids."
