Husaynid Beys (Tunisia), 1117-1376 / 1705-1957

The Husaynid Beys ruled Tunisia from 1705 to 1957, establishing a dynasty that brought stability and modernization to the region. They navigated periods of Ottoman suzerainty and later French colonial rule, until Tunisia gained independence and the monarchy was abolished. The earlier period (1117-1376) refers to local Husaynid influence, but the main dynasty is known for its leadership in the 18th to 20th centuries.
