This is a family tree of the Umayyad dynasty, whose name derives from Umayya ibn Abd Shams . Umayya s great grandson Muawiyah I founded the Umayyad Caliphate in 661, and transferred its capital to Damascus , Syria . The Abu Sufyan ibn Harb Sufyanid branch to which Muawiyah belonged ceased to exercise power following the abdication of Muawiya II in 684. Power shifted to the Marwan I Marwanid branch, which continued to rule the caliphate until the Umayyads were displaced and massacred by the Abbasid Caliphate Abbasids in 750 see Battle of the Zab . An Umayyad prince named Abd ar Rahman I Abd ar Rahman managed to escape the massacre, and fled to the Iberian Peninsula Iberian peninsula Al Andalus where he established an independent emirate ruled from the city of C rdoba, Spain C rdoba . His descendants continued to rule the Emirate of C rdoba, which Abd ar Rahman III elevated to the status of caliphate in 929. The Caliphate of C rdoba disintegrated into several independent taifa kingdoms in 1031, thus bringing to a definitive end the rule of the Umayyads.
