Dubays ibn Sadaqa al-Mazyadidi

Dubays ibn Sadaqa ibn Mansur al-Mazyadidi; captured at his father's death in 501 AH, released by Sultan Muhammad to his mother under oath of obedience, then sent home by Sultan Mahmud to rule al-Hilla where Arabs and Kurds rallied to him — he rose against caliph al-Mustarshid, whose mustered army routed him and took his household captive in 517 AH; he fled to the Franks tempting them with Aleppo in 518 (which resisted), then joined Malik Tughril ibn Sultan Muhammad and incited him to march on Iraq, pledging him its kingship.
