story gose...

He came to Egypt in the year 726 of hegira at the age of 18 from Barkad (a
vilag in Bokhara) to start his own trade,he was tall and handsome , met
Sultan Nasir Bin Kalawon in one of his royal stables

... Admired by the sultan he was given a military  rank

... Within 2 years he married the sultans daughter and the sultan married
his sister

....Marrying into royalty gave him the title    " Prince" (by the way it's 
hereditary)

... Being quite an ambitious fellow as he was,working hard and seizing each
and every opportunity

..... In no time he became the most powerful figure in Egypt preceded only
by the soltan himself to the extent that he crowned 60 of his relativer as
princes

.... Gaining a tremendous fortune through his 'wekala' (360 stores with
4,000 workers and hotels for merchants

... Then disaster struck place

.....His friend The soltan suddenly died

... Approaching his final hours, Soltan Kalawon appointed his son El Mansour
as his successor, and prince Koson as  caretaker and guardian

.... Within 2 months  prince Koson had banished the new sultan sending him 
to Kous in Upper Egypt where he was executed  ! ! ! Appointing prince Kujuk'
   (one of the late Sultan Kalawon's sons) as the new sultan

.... Kujuk later known as King Ashraf was 5 years of age !!!

.... Appointing a 5 year old child as king and being the guardian, Prince
Koson was now the sole  ... ((owner)) of the entire country

... Sending for more  relatives from Bokhara ''out  of which he crowned 60
princes", he managed to smoothly  run the country for some time...

....Until ...His nightmare materialized in one of the late sultan's sons, a
prince Ahmed who lived and ruled in Karac 'part of jordan today'

.... Conspiring and plotting to overthrow Koson and strip him of the
absolute power he now possessed ....

... Through an unsuccessful attempt on prince Ahmed's life , Koson   - now
exposed as never before - began attracting more and more strong enemies

.....A powerful coalition of princes was formed in Egypt and abroad 
targeting prince  Koson's downfall and prince Ahmed's coronation ..... as
the military  campaign from El Sham approached the Egyptian frontiers,

the stiring-up of matters within the country had reached a boiling peak.....
