The Taifa of Valencia (Arabic: طائفة بلنسية) was a medieval Moorish taifa kingdom which existed, in and around Valencia, Spain during four distinct periods: from 1010 to 1065, from 1075 to 1099, from 1145 to 1147 and last from 1229 to 1238 when it was finally conquered by the Crown of Aragon.
From 1094 to 1099 the kingdom was also subject to the rule of legendary military leader El Cid.
