Ok, here's my preliminary data for rulers for the factions you indicated above. It's just the basic info, as I'm not familiar enough to attmpe putting it into mod ready form.
Rulers:
Almoravid (E)
Amirs of the Almoravids:
Yusuf ibn Tashufin 1061-1106
Ali ibn Yusuf 1106-1142
Tashufin ibn Ali 1142-1146
Ibrahim ibn Tashufin 1146-1146
Ishaq ibn Ali 1146-1147
(Almohad caliphate replaces Almoravids in 1147)
Only found one historical hero for the Almoravids, and he's Catalan!
Compare Reverter, former viscount of Barcelona, after being captured by them, later led the Almoravid armies against the encroaching Almohads until his death in 1144.
Genoese (All 3)
This is going to be problematic. I know that you intend the Genoese to be a sort of Amalgam of the Italian states which weren't Venice; but the western Italian areas were about as unstable politically as it is possible to be. Genoa as an independent entity was really non-existent in the early period. It was a chartered commune, as was Pisa. There were no doges of Genoa until Simone Boccanegra in 1339. Pisa was a Ghibelline commune (supporters of the Holy Roman Emperor over the Papist Guelphs) until 1284, when it essentially switched back and forth between Ghibelline and Guelph communes. At the beginning of our Early era, the Margraves of Tuscany were women, the contessas Beatrice and Matilda; but I suppose you can use the other male margaves of Tuscany for Genoa in Early. The only other relatively stable countries in the area would be Savoy or Parma. They have good lists of leaders for the entire period. I think you'll have to make a choice between the Tuscan Margrave names or the Savoy and Parma counts, or just use generic Italian or Venetian names. Perhaps one of the members here, Fader_it, the maker of the fine Italy TW mod can help.

John IV 1371-??

Chernigovian (E&H)
Early
(dates are not really possible here, many times the Chernigov Rus princes became the Grand Princes of all Kiev and vice versa generally fighting among themselves for the title of ruler of all Kiev, getting kicked out of their princely titles for a year or two, being restored, getting kicked out again, and then re-restored, etc.)
Oleg I
(prince of Chernigov, and given the patronomial Gorislavlichi - which means Son of Woe, for always losing. He contended with his Kiev cousins Sviatapolk and Vladimir Monomakh ((grandson of the Byzantine Monomachus)) for the throne of all Kiev. He invariably lost, his descendants, always also-ran contenders for the Kiev throne, were called Olgovichi and the Kiev rulers called Monomakhovichi. He did obtain help from the Cumans/Kipchaks to regain Chernigov from Vsevolod and Vladimir in 1078 lost it, regained it again in 1096, so he should be the first Early era ruler of Chernigov, I think. It seems better than Vsevolod for a year or two, then Oleg, then Vladimir, then Oleg again, then Vsevolod again)
Vsevolod I
Vladimir I
David
Yaroslav I
Vsevolod II
Vladimir II
Iziaslav I
Sviatoslav II
Oleg II
Sviatoslav III

Oleg III
High
Vsevolod III
Rurik I
Gleb I
Mstislav II
Oleg IV
Michael I
Mstislav III
(Conquered by the Golden Horde in 1239)
Cuman (L)
For the Cumans, are you wanting the Cuman descended Wallachians? Or would you prefer to use older more Turkic style names from earlier Cuman rulers of various nomadic tribes on the northern shores of the Black Sea?
Cuman Princes of Wallachia after Tihomir I, Basarab is his son and the first official Prince of Wallachia.
Basarab 1310-1352
Nicholas 1352-1364
Vladislav I 1364-1372
Radu I 1372-1383
Dan I 1383-1386
Mircea I 1386-1393
(conquered by the Ottomans in 1393)
Older Cuman/Kipchak ruler's names:
Konchak
Togli
Kuntuvdi
Kotyan
Bortz (forebear of Tihomir I of Wallachia)
and my personal favorite, hands down the best name of any ruler:
Bonyak the Mangy Seriously, he ruled a Cuman/Kipchak tribe from 1096-1111
