Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Idris II (791–828 AD) was son of Idris I, the founder of the Idrisid dynasty in North Africa. He was born in Volubilis (in nowadays Morocco) two months after the death of his father. The death of Idris I, and the resulting destabilisation of the fledgling Moroccan state, delighted the Caliph in Baghdad. However, two months later, Kenza, the wife of Idris I who was the daughter of the chief of the Berber Awarba tribe, gave birth to Idriss II, who became a quick prodigy. Idris II, having never met his father, was raised among the Berbers of Volubilis and had a remarkable career. In reference to Idris II, the historian Rom Landau, says: "In the lore of the Moroccans, Idris II was a being of almost magical attributes. An exceptional young man he certainly must have been. At many points we are reminded of one of the greatest sages of Islam, Ibn Sina or Avicenna. At the age of four, Idris apparently could read, at five write, at eight he knew the Koran by heart, and by then is said to have mastered the wisdom of all the outstanding savants.
