The Cautionary Tale of Abu Abdallah ibn al-Hakim al-Rundi

The chroniclers still tell of Target Dead Guy, the Head Of Cabinet Name who once held the two seals of state and ruled our forebears in all but name, until the city rose against him. A frenzied mob stormed his palace, struck him down, and defiled his body so that no grave ever held him. That same shadow now falls across our own Court Title. Target Character has gathered the offices of government into a single grip, and the Nobility mutter that no servant should stand so near the throne. We may lean on Target Character and the order such a hand brings, or break the council before it learns to rule without us.

historical_info = battle_for_the_strait_events.50.historical_info Abu Abdallah ibn al-Hakim al-Rundi, born in Ronda in 1261, rose through the Nasrid chancery to become the dominant vizier of Sultan Muhammad III, holding from 1303 the rare title of dhū al-wizāratayn, master of the two vizierates. He negotiated the Treaty of Córdoba, directed the seizure of Ceuta in 1306, and by the close of the reign was widely held to be the true ruler of the emirate.

It did not last. In the palace coup of March 1309 the commander Atiq ibn al-Mawl struck him down, and his body was cast aside and lost. His rise and fall became a byword for the danger of a minister who grows greater than his king.
