Moulay Hisham ben Mohammed (Arabic: هشام بن محمد), born in 1748 and died in July 1798 in Marrakesh,[1] was Sultan of Morocco from 1792 to 1797. He was proclaimed sultan during the reign of his half-brother Yazid of Morocco, and ended up abandoning the throne when his followers proclaimed Sulayman bin Mohammed their legitimate ruler.
Moulay Hisham was a son of Sidi Mohammed III and his wife Princess Lalla Fatima bint Suleiman.[2] He was proclaimed Sultan in 1792 by the Marrakesh inhabitants, the Rhamna and the Houz tribes during the reign of Sultan Moulay Yazid.[3] At Tâzkourt happened a battle between Moulay Hisham and his half-brother Sultan Moulay Zayid[4] who was victorious but perished few days later on February 23, 1792, succumbing to an injury. When Moulay Yazid died in 1792, Moulay Sulayman was proclaimed Sultan in Fez[5] and in 1797 Moulay Hicham was abandoned by his supporters who recognized Moulay Sulayman as their legitimate sovereign and abnegated Moulay Hicham as their sultan. As a fallen sovereign, he initially found asylum at zaouia el-Cherradi, before being assigned a residence in Rabat by Moulay Sulayman, until he was granted permission to travel to Marrakesh where he died. Moulay Hicham and his wife a lady of the Oulad Jerrar tribe[6] are the parents of Sultan Moulay Abderrahmane, Moulay Sulayman's designed heir.
