The Zirids (Arabic: زيريون Zīryūn), a Sanhadja Berber dynasty, governed Ifriqiya (in northern Africa) from 973 to 1148.Initially governing on behalf of the Fatimids, the Zirids became independent in 1048. An invasion by the Banu Hilal tribes in the second half of the 11th century weakened their control, and Sicilian Normans finally destroyed their rule in 1148.The Hammadids of Central Maghreb and the Zawids of Granada constituted offshoots of this dynasty.
