Sayf al-Dawla ruled as Prince of Aleppo until Roman invaders seized his kingdom. His palace, standing without walls, was taken along with its treasures—1,400 mules and 300 bags of gold and silver—leaving him a fugitive who had abandoned his realm.
Description
A prince whose palace stood without walls, reflecting both his royal status and the vulnerability of his position. His appearance would reflect the dignity of Hamdanid royalty before his kingdom was seized by Roman forces.
