Barquq's accession as the first Circassian sultan

In Ramadan 784 Barquq took the sultanate as al-Zahir — the FIRST of the Circassians. In Rajab 785 he seized, deposed and citadel-imprisoned al-Mutawakkil, hailing Umar al-Wathiq then Zakariya al-Musta'sim; repenting, he freed and restored al-Mutawakkil. Imprisoned again then freed in 792, he ruled till his death in Shawwal 801, when his son Faraj rose as al-Nasir.
