Abu'l-Fawaris Ahmad ibn Ali

Abu'l-Fawaris Ahmad ibn Ali ibn al-Ikhshid was the last ruler of the autonomous ruler of Ikhshidid dynasty, which ruled Egypt, Syria and the Hejaz, from 968 to 969. However, he was a child and did not exercise actual rule, being instead under the tutelage first of the vizier Ja'far ibn al-Furat and then of his uncle al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj. His reign ended with the conquest of Egypt by the Fatimids in the summer of 969.
