What Wikipedia says

Zaydism (Arabic: الزَّيْدِيَّة, romanized: az-Zaydiyya), also referred to as Fiver Shi'ism, is a branch of Shia Islam, and sometimes considered the fifth school of Sunni law, that emerged in the eighth century following Zayd ibn Ali's unsuccessful rebellion against the Umayyad Caliphate.
