This event marked a significant shift in power within the region and had profound consequences for the ruling dynasty. The ousting of Hisham by Muhammad II signaled the internal strife and political instability that plagued the Umayyad dynasty during this period. The incident highlighted the intricate power dynamics and rivalries that characterized the ruling elites in medieval Spain.
