The Daylamite Ahmad ibn Buya; he entered Baghdad, was invested as Mu'izz al-Dawla — Imad and Rukn al-Dawla his brothers, all three titles on the coinage — the first Daylamite to hold Iraq. He sequestered the caliph at five thousand dirhams a day, patronised wrestlers and swimmers till men swam cooking meat in pots on their arms, then dragged al-Mustakfi from his throne, blinded him and set up al-Muti'.
