'''Abu Bakr ibn Umar ibn Ibrahim ibn Turgut''', sometimes suffixed '''al-Sanhaji''' or '''al-Lamtuni'''<ref>Full patronymic record varies in the sources. Collating various sources, his full name was probably Abu Bakr ibn Umar ibn Talagagin (''alias'' Ibrahim) ibn Turgut (or Turgit or Waraggut) ibn Wartantaq.  See N. Levtzion and J.F.P. Hopkins, 200'0, editors, ''Corpus of Early Arabic Sources for West African History'', University of Ghana, p.409.</ref> (died  1087; {{langx|ar|أبو بكر بن عمر اللمتوني|Abū Bakr ibn 'Umar al Lamtūnī
}}) was a chieftain of the [[Lamtuna]] Berber Tribe and [[Emir|Amir]] of the [[Almoravid dynasty|Almoravid]]s from 1056 until his death. He is credited to have founded the Moroccan city of [[Marrakesh]], and under his rule the [[Heretics|heretic]] [[Barghawata]]s were destroyed.<ref>{{Cite book|last=trans. from Arabic by A.
