Years: 1042 - 1042

Al-Duzbari has fallen out of favor of the Fatimid government in Cairo.

The Fatimid vizier had publicly condemned him, causing the army of Syria to abandon him.

Al-Duzbari has taken refuge in Aleppo, where he died in early 1042.

Not long afterwards, Thimal recovers the town, although al-Duzbari's ghulams manage to hold out in the citadel for several months.

Constantinople immediately recognizes Thimal as the ruler of Aleppo, and the Fatimids will recognize his governorship in 1045, although relations with the latter will continue to be less than friendly.
