About Al-Azraq
Lived 1208 – 1276 (aged 67–68). Al-Azraq was a military personnel.
Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Hudhayl al-Saghir (1208 in la Vall d'Alcalà, Alicante – 1276 Alcoi), popularly known as Al-Azraq (, 'the Blue' – referring to his eyes), was an Arab Moorish commander in the Iberian Peninsula in the south of the Kingdom of Valencia.
