الحسن بن الحافظ لدين الله

Al-Hasan ibn al-Hafiz li-Din Allah Abd al-Majid, the Ubaydid; his father's heir-apparent and vizier for three years — tyrannical and violent, killing forty amirs in a single night until his father feared him and armed men against him; Egypt was convulsed, then the father sent him a poisoner who made him drink, and he perished in 529.
