Al-Malik al-Mu'ayyad Dawud ibn al-Muzaffar Yusuf, fifth Rasulid king of Yemen; freed from confinement and enthroned after his brother al-Ashraf's killing in 696 AH, he opened his reign by executing the poisoner slave-girl, kept Egypt's Turkish kings supplied with gifts until his 711 offering reached two hundred camel-loads of textiles, rarities and mounts, gathered books from every land until his treasury held a hundred thousand volumes, tended the scholars with his stipends sending gifts to the Shafi'i faqih Ibn Daqiq al-Id in Egypt, and died in 721.
