In 1419, the Marinid Sultan Abu Said Uthman III laid siege to Ceuta with the help of the Nasrid Emir of Granada Muhammad VIII in an attempt to recover it, however the Portuguese successfully repulsed the attack under the able command of Dom Pedro de Meneses. Blamed for losing Ceuta, the sultan was later assassinated when a coup took place in Fez in 1420, leaving only a child as his heir. The Marinid sultanate descended into anarchic chaos as rival pretenders vied for the throne and local governors carved out regional fiefs for themselves, selling their support to the highest bidder.[74]
