Abu Marwan Abd al-Malik II

Abu Marwan Abd al-Malik II ibn Zidan (), also known as Abd el-Malik II (? – 10 March 1631) was the Saadi Sultan from 1627 to 1631.

Life

After the expeditions of Isaac de Razilly to the territories within present-day Morocco, he signed a Franco-Moroccan treaty with France in 1631, giving France preferential treatment, known as Capitulations: preferential tariffs, the establishment of a consulate, and freedom of religion for French subjects.

The story of his life was published by the English diplomat John Harrison in 1633. He was succeeded by his brother Al Walid ben Zidan.
