Sara al-Qutiyya
8th century Visigothic noblewoman / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sara al-Qutiyya (Arabic: سارة القوطية; Spanish: Sara la Goda) or Sara the Goth (fl. 8th century) was a Visigothic noblewoman, who was the grand-daughter of king Wittiza. After the death of her father she travelled to Damascus from al-Andalus and successfully petitioned the Umayyad caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik to restore lands to her family that had been appropriated by her uncle. The historian Ibn al-Qutiyya was her great-grandson.
