Mu'izz al-Dawla was the second of three Buyid brothers who rose to power in Baghdad. He assumed both civil and military authority, granting the caliph a substantial stipend while simultaneously demonstrating his dominance by dragging the caliph from his throne to a dungeon, establishing the Buyid grip on the Abbasid capital.
Description
