223 – Ahmadil, lord of Maragha*
One of the celebrated warriors. His fief brought in an annual revenue of four hundred thousand dinars, and he kept a force of five thousand cavalry. While he was attending the court of Sultan Muḥammad ibn Malikshāh, a pauper approached him, earnestly pleading over a petition he was presenting; suddenly the man struck him with a knife. Ahmadil threw himself on top of him, whereupon another Bāṭinī assassin leapt onto Ahmadil and wounded him; swords then cut down the two of them. A third attacker sprang forward and dealt Ahmadil an even graver blow. This took place at the beginning of 510 AH, when Ahmadil, together with the ruler of Damascus, Ṭughtikīn, had come to Baghdad to pay homage to Muḥammad.
