The Hamdanids of Aleppo
AD 944 - 1015
Northern Syria was taken from the
Ikhshidids of Egypt.
Sayfud Dawla became a celebrated foe of the
Byzantines, but he was
largely unsuccessful against the revival of Eastern Roman power, and his son experienced
devastating defeats, at one point with Aleppo and Homs themselves falling, though they were retained
by the payment of tribute. |
