Mohammed III of Morocco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sidi Mohammed III Ben Abdellah al-Qatib (c. 1710-1790) (Arabic: محمد الثالث بن عبد الله الخطيب) was Sultan of Morocco from 1757 to 1790 under the Alaouite dynasty and originating from the Moasmouda tribe. A more open-minded ruler than many of his forebears, he signed numerous peace treaties with the European powers, and curtailed the power of the Barbary corsairs. He founded the city of Essaouira and invited Jews and English to trade there. He was also sultan briefly during 1748. He was the governor of Marrakech around 1750 and was the son of Sultan Abdallah IV who reigned 1745-1757.

Under Mohammed III, Morocco became the first country to recognize the United States as an independent nation, in 1777. President George Washington wrote Mohammed in 1789 asking him for aid in allowing American ships to navigate nearby waters.

Abdul Abdallah Mohammed (or Abou Fares Abdellah) was a Saadi dynasty sultan from 1603 to 1607.
