Schaiban (Tulunids)
Abu l-Manaqib Shaiban Ahmad ibn Tulun ( Arabic أبو المناقب شيبان أحمد بن طولون, DMG Abū l-Manāqib Šaibān Aḥmad b. Ṭūlūn ; † after 905) was the fifth and last ruler of the Tulunids in Egypt .
After Harun was killed in a troop revolt on December 30, 904, Shaiban came to power as his uncle. However, after years of mismanagement, the dynasty could no longer be saved. He had to retreat with his troops to Fustat , where he surrendered to the Abbasid army on January 10, 905 . This ended the Tulunid dynasty in Egypt.
