Ahmad al-Mukarram
Ahmad al-Mukarram was the second ruler of the Sulayhid dynasty of Yemen, succeeding his father Ali al-Sulayhi after Ali was killed by the Najahids in the 1060s. Afflicted by paralysis, he left much of the government to his wife Arwa, who moved the court to Dhu Jibla. After his death Arwa ruled on behalf of the dynasty for decades.
