Rukn al-Dawla
Rukn al-Dawla, born Hasan ibn Buya, was one of the three Buyid brothers who founded the dynasty's rule in Iran and Iraq. He took Ray and Isfahan and governed the central and northern Iranian lands until his death in 976, receiving his honorific, 'pillar of the state', from the caliph in 946. His vizier was the statesman Ibn al-Amid, and his son Adud al-Dawla later united the Buyid realm.
