LONDON (Web Desk) – Queen Elizabeth-II of United Kingdom, the world’s oldest living monarch who marked her 90th birthday last month, has had a number of myths spring around her in the past.

However, most astounding among these myths is the claim that she is the great granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), from his 43rd generation.

Although disputed, genealogical records of early-medieval Spain also support the claim.

According to available information, Queen Elizabeth belongs to the family Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad, who was a descendant of Muhammad (PBUH) through his daughter Fatima (RA) and grandson Hasan ibn Ali (RA).

Al-Qasim was originally a judge appointed by Caliph of Cordoba but he seized power and formed his own dynasty, the Abbadids. He became the ruler of Seville in al-Andalus in 1023.

Six decades later, in 1091, the Almoravids of Morocco attacked their kingdom which was then being ruled by al-Qasim’s grandson Al-Mu’tamid ibn Abbad. Ibn Abbad was defeated and deprived of his throne.

In the meanwhile, his daughter named Zaida luckily fled north and took refuge at the court of King Alfonso VI of Leon. In the years to come, she became his mistress and converted to Christianity, adopting the baptismal name Isabella. The king married her after the death of his first wife and fathered three children from her.

Two centuries later, in 1352, a descendant of Zaida and King Alfonso, Maria de Padilla, became the mistress of King Peter of Castille, who was publicly known as ‘the Cruel.’ The king fathered four children with her, two of whom married sons of King Edward III of England.
