The Barghawāṭa were a Moroccan polity or people whom the Almoravids encountered after conquering territories in the Sūs and the Maghrib. Ibn Yāsīn was killed while fighting them in 451 A.H. (1059), but the Almoravid forces defeated the Barghawāṭa and destroyed their power. The passage characterizes them through the religious language of the Almoravid campaign and does not provide further institutional or social detail.

Le récit
The Almoravid advance reached the frontier of the land of the Barghawāṭa after campaigns against the Sūs, Aghmāt, and the Banū Ifrān. The Barghawāṭa represented a distinct power at the western Moroccan edge of this expansion. The passage gives no detailed account of their political organization, economy, or territory.
Fighting against the Barghawāṭa proved fatal to Ibn Yāsīn. He was killed in 451 A.H. (1059), yet the campaign ended with an Almoravid victory. The Barghawāṭa were defeated and their power was destroyed, according to the narrative.
The account uses the term “heretics” for the Barghawāṭa, reflecting the religious perspective of the Almoravid campaign. This label should be read as a polemical characterization within the narrative rather than as a neutral description of the group’s beliefs or identity.
