Background and career

Sidi Muhammad bin Abdallah al-Khatib (Arabic: سيدي محمد بن عبد الله الخطيب), commonly known as Muhammad III (Arabic: محمد الثالث), (c. 1710 – 9 April 1790) was the Sultan of Morocco from 1757 to 1790 as a member of the 'Alawi dynasty. He was the governor of Marrakesh around 1750. He was also briefly sultan in 1748. He rebuilt many cities after the earthquake of 1755, including Mogador, Casablanca, and Rabat. Historians such as Abdallah Laroui have described him as "the architect of modern Morocco."

He defeated the French in the Larache expedition in 1765 and expelled the Portuguese from Mazagan (al-Jadīda) in 1769. He is notable for having been the first leader to recognize American independence, along with establishing an alliance with Luis de Unzaga (nicknamed "le Conciliateur", or "The Conciliator"), as well as his secret intelligence service, led by Unzaga's brothers-in-law Antonio and Matías de Gálvez. He was the son of Mawlay Abdallah bin Ismail and a woman of the Chéraga Guich tribe.
