Years: 1065 - 1065

A succession dispute after Thimal's death that had raged between Mahmud and Thimal's brother 'Atiyya ibn Salih led to a split in the Mirdasid domains.

Mahmud controls the western half, while 'Atiyya controls the east.

In order to gain an edge over Mahmud, 'Atiyya had recruited a band of Turks, but they later defect to Mahmud, forcing 'Atiyya to give up Aleppo in 1065.
