At the earlier era, most of the principal wives as well as the biological mother of the caliphs were either an Abbasid princess or a daughter of the prominent Arabs family. From the late Abbasid, the caliphs were most likely to marry a princess of neighborhood, such as Buyid and Seljuk, also almost all of them were born from an umm walad which usually non-Arabs girl.
