Walīd ibn Yazīd, al-

▪ Umayyad caliph
also called  al-Walīd II,  in full  Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Walīd ibn Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Marwān 
born c. 707, Syria
died 744, Syria

      caliph (reigned 743–744) of the Umayyad Dynasty.

      As a young man he was of artistic temperament and acquired a good education. He was, however, totally unfit to rule and went off to live in the desert, where he could be free from the burdens of public affairs and the moral constraints of the Islamic religion. He was a musician and surrounded himself with poets and opportunists. He fancied himself a great builder and wanted to eclipse the architectural achievements of his predecessors; he did in fact build the desert castle of Mshattāʾ. He was killed when rebellions broke out in Syria.
