Ahmad ibn Uways al-Jalayiri

Ahmad ibn Uways the Jalayirid, sultan of Baghdad, Tabriz and the Iraqi lands after his brother Shaykh Husayn (784) — a dreaded, blood-spilling sultan with tyranny over his amirs and troops, yet versed in several sciences, complete in astronomy, and an accomplished musician in knowledge and performance, immersed in the pleasures souls desire; Barquq honoured him exceedingly, gave him the vice-sultanate patent of Baghdad, and would not let him kiss the ground, out of reverence.
