Overview
Aqsunqur al-Fariqani, tutor of al-Malik al-Zahir's household; al-Malik al-Sa'id made him his deputy, but al-Sa'id's intimates disapproved — they fell upon al-Fariqani and imprisoned him, and al-Sa'id could not oppose them, so it was said they strangled him in Jumada I. 1
Description
He was handsome, imposing, brave and noble, possessed of experience and judgment, with piety and self-sacrifice, and clothed in awe and dignity; he died in the fifties. 1
