Emirate of Bari

Short-lived Muslim emirate in Apulia, founded when the commander Khalfun took Bari around 847; his successor Mufarrag ibn Sallam obtained recognition as governor (wali) from the Abbasid caliph al-Mutawakkil, and Sawdan ruled it as emir until the Carolingian emperor Louis II took Bari in 871. Bari answered to Baghdad, not to Kairouan.

Extent (the Terra di Bari coast and the Murge hinterland) is approximate; Taranto was held by another Muslim group until 880. Source: Wikipedia 'Emirate of Bari'.
