The acclamation of the caliph al-Musta'in as sultan

When sultan Faraj marched on Shaykh, was routed and killed, the CALIPH al-Musta'in was hailed as sultan too — Muharram 815: coins in his name, officers appointed and dismissed, the amirs in his service, and Ibn Hajar's famous ode 'the kingship stands firm-based in al-Musta'in the just Abbas'. Then Shaykh, styled Nizam al-Mulk, ruled from the stables, barred the caliph's own unseen signature, usurped as al-Mu'ayyad in Sha'ban and deposed him; Syria's regent Nawruz assembled the qadis whose fatwa voided it.
