Mu'izz al-Dawla
Mu'izz al-Dawla was the youngest of the three Buyid brothers who built a Daylamite empire in Iran and Iraq. Born Ahmad ibn Buya, he entered Baghdad in 945 and received his title from the Abbasid caliph, whom he and his successors kept as a figurehead. He ruled Iraq as emir until his death in 967 and introduced public Shia commemorations such as Ashura.
