Rukn al-Din al-Husayn

Rukn al-Din al-Husayn was a member of the Kanz elite, known from two marriage contracts from the Aswan region. In 734 AH/1334 CE his daughter Umm al-Khayr married ʿAlam al-Din, son of Siraj al-Din Umar; in 742 AH/1341 she married ʿIzz al-Din Afrun.

Robin Seignobos identifies Umm al-Khayr as a niece of Kanz al-Dawla Abu Abdallah Muhammad, the Kanz leader who had seized power at Dongola, placing Rukn in the same Kanz family network.
