Dubays II
Iraqi ruler
Quick Summary
Dubays II was a ruler of the Mazyadid Dynasty, an Arab dynasty that governed central Iraq from approximately 961 to 1150 CE, with their capital at al-Ḥillah. He reigned from 1108 to 1135 CE. Dubays II was recognized for his prowess as a warrior, particularly in his campaigns against the Crusaders, and for his support of Arabic poetry. Following his death, the Mazyadid dynasty's influence waned due to internal power struggles among his brothers. The dynasty eventually submitted to the Seljuq sultan Masʿūd in 1150 CE.1
