The short reign of Abu'l-Harith Mansur II,…

997 CE

The short reign of Abu'l-Harith Mansur II, who is still young when he succeeds his father Nuh II as amir of the Samanids in 997, is marked by his inability to control his governors and generals.

Shortly after he comes to power, a rebellion is launched, and its leaders invite the Kara-Khanids under Nasr Khan to intervene.

Nasr Khan does so, but after defeating the rebellion, he contacts Fa'iq, Mansur's governor of Samarkand, and sends him to the Samanid capital with an army.

Mansur flees, but later is persuaded to return, although Fa'iq retains his power.
