Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox royalty Bishr ibn al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Malik (Шаблон:Lang-ar) (fl. 710–740s) was an Umayyad prince and commander who led military expeditions against the Byzantine Empire in 710/11 and 714/15 and later participated in the Umayyad opposition against his kinsman, Caliph al-Walid II (Шаблон:Reign). He was imprisoned by his erstwhile ally and kinsman, Caliph Marwan II, in 745 and presumably died in incarceration.
Life
Bishr was a son of the Umayyad caliph al-Walid I (Шаблон:Reign). During his father's reign, he led raids against the Byzantine Empire along the caliphate's northern frontier, including in 710/11 and the winter of 714/15. In 714, he was appointed amir al-hajj by his father, putting him in charge of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.Шаблон:Sfn Due to his high education, he was dubbed Шаблон:Transl (Шаблон:Literally, i.e. the ruling house of the Umayyad dynasty).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Bishr returned to Syria after his father's death in early 715, according to 8th/9th-century historian al-Waqidi.Шаблон:Sfn
He is not mentioned again in the medieval sources until 743/44 when he became involved in the Third Muslim Civil War. In this struggle over the caliphate between the Umayyads, he fought against his cousin, Caliph al-Walid II, in support of his brother, Yazid III, despite warnings from his other brother and prominent wartime general, al-Abbas, to remain neutral.Шаблон:Sfn Twelve other brothers of Bishr likewise supported Yazid III,Шаблон:Sfn who went on to become caliph after al-Walid II's assassination in 744. Bishr married the divorced wife of al-Walid II, Sa'da, who was the daughter of a wealthy descendant of Caliph Uthman (Шаблон:Reign), Sa'id ibn Khalid ibn Amr ibn Uthman.Шаблон:Sfn
Yazid III ruled for a few months before dying and being succeeded by his brother Ibrahim, who months later, in 745, surrendered the caliphate to Marwan II. At the time of the latter's accession, Bishr had been serving as governor of Jund Qinnasrin (military district of Qinnasrin) in northern Syria. Marwan II subsequently compelled the largely Qaysi troops of Qinnasrin to arrest and hand over Bishr and the latter's full brother Masrur who became captives. They are not heard of again and are assumed to have died in prison.Шаблон:Sfn
