Overview
Dubays ibn Sadaqa ibn Mansur al-Mazyadi, a Mazyadid prince, whose story is recorded in Ibn Khaldun's "Al-Ibar". 1
His life
He was taken prisoner on the day his father Sadaqa was killed in 501 AH. Sultan Muhammad freed him for the sake of his mother and made him swear obedience. Sultan Mahmud then sent him back to his land, where he ruled al-Hilla, and a host of Arabs and Kurds gathered around him. 1
He then rebelled against the caliph al-Mustarshid. The caliph gathered armies against him, his forces were routed, and his womenfolk were taken captive in 517 AH. 1
He joined the Franks and encouraged them to attack Aleppo in 518 AH, but it held out against them. He then joined King Tughril ibn Sultan Muhammad and urged him to march on Iraq, promising him its rule. 1
He was of the Banu Mazyad.
