Abu Taghlib
Abu Taghlib was the Hamdanid emir of Mosul who deposed his father Nasir al-Dawla in 967. He became entangled in the struggles of the Buyid dynasty, backing Izz al-Dawla against Adud al-Dawla. In 978 Adud al-Dawla expelled him from Mosul, and he was killed in Palestine in 979 while fighting forces of the Fatimids.
