A proposito di questo titolo

In the shadow of the enigmatic Caliph al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, his half-sister Sitt al-Mulk wielded immense power behind the scenes. This episode explores her life: a princess who managed the Fatimid court's intricate politics, likely orchestrated al-Hakim's mysterious disappearance in 1021, and then ruled as de facto regent for his young successor al-Zahir. We delve into the sources—often hostile and tangled in legend—to separate fact from fiction. How did a woman navigate the male-dominated corridors of Cairo's palace, commanding eunuchs, ministers, and generals? What does her story reveal about the Fatimid state's reliance on powerful women, from the harem to the throne? We discuss her patronage of architecture, her ruthless elimination of rivals, and the enduring myth of a princess who may have saved the caliphate from collapse. Join us as we uncover the life of one of Islamic history's most formidable female figures, a testament to the complex political currents of 11th-century Egypt.
