Black Guard
The Black Guard (in Arabic,
Abid, from a root meaning "slave") were the corps of black-African slave-soldiers assembled by the
Alaouite sultan of Morocco,
Mawlay Ismail (reigned 1672-1727). The Black Guard descended from black captives brought to Morocco from sub-
Saharan Africa, who were settled in a special colony and given wives; their male offspring would be pressed into military careers at the age of sixteen. Considered more reliable than
Arab or
Berber warriors because of their lack of tribal loyalties,
Ismail's black soldiers formed the bulk of his standing army and numbered 150,000 at their peak.
