Hassan I of Morocco
''Mawlay''
Hassan bin Mohammed (), known as
Hassan I (), born in 1836 in
Fes and died on 9 June 1894 in
Tadla, was a sultan of
Morocco from 12 September
1873 to 7
June 1894, as a ruler of the
'Alawi dynasty. He was proclaimed sultan after the death of his father
Mawlay Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman. Mawlay Hassan was among the most successful sultans. He increased the power of the
makhzen in
Morocco and at a time when so much of the rest of
Africa was falling under foreign control, he brought in military and administrative reforms to strengthen the regime within its own territory, and he carried out an active military and diplomatic program on the periphery. He died on 9 June 1894 and was succeeded by his son
Abd al-Aziz.
