الدولة المزيدية

The state of Banu Mazyad of Banu Asad, kings of al-Hilla in Iraq, whose range ran from Baghdad to Basra and Najd; their chief Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Mazyad took the Dubaysi islands and in his lifetime authority passed to his son Dubays Nur al-Dawla, the state peaking under his grandson Sadaqa ibn Mansur — builder of al-Hilla, titled king of the Arabs — until he was killed in 501 AH fighting Sultan Muhammad ibn Malikshah, after whose sons their line faded.
