Abd ar-Rahman II (Arabic: عبد الرحمن الثاني) ‎ (788-852) was an Arab-Spanish ruler. The son of Emir Al-Hakam I, he became Emir of Córdoba, Spain in 822 and engaged in nearly continuous warfare against Alfonso II of Asturias, whose southward advance he halted (822-842). In 837 he suppressed a revolt of Christians and Jews in Toledo and repulsed an assault by Scandinavian sea rovers in 844, and afterwards constructed a fleet and naval arsenal at Seville to repel future raids. Famous for his public building program in Córdoba, he died there in 852. A vigorous and effective frontier warrior, he was also well-known as a patron of the arts. He was also involved in the execution of Christians who blasphemed the name of Allah. Those killed are known as the Martyrs of Cordoba.
