PRINCE NAZARI ALI DORDUX, GRANDSON OF EMIR MOHAMMAD, WHO HELPED THE FALL OF MALAGA

Ali Dordux was governor of Malaga at the time of its conquest by the Christians. He negotiated the surrender of the city and handed over the keys of the city to the Catholic Monarchs. He was granted several privileges by an act of October 4, 1489, signed by Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. His son, Mohammed Dordux, converted to Christianity and was named "Regidor" of Malaga in 1501.
