Taynal

"[1] On 9 May 1326 Taynal replaced Qaratay as Na'ib ("governor") of Mamlakat Tarabulus (Tripoli Province) after being appointed by Tankiz, the Viceroy of Syria.

[2] Throughout his first term as governor, Taynal opposed some of Tankiz's policies, arousing the latter's anger.

[3] Gaza was a less important province, the powers of its governor having been reduced in concurrence with Taynal's appointment.

The 14th-century traveler Ibn Batutah wrote of the lavishness of the transportation convoys Taynal used in Tripoli.

Taynal had a house for himself built on the site of an "old Fatimid hospital," as noted by Ibn Batutah, near the al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo and also maintained a residence in Damascus, which later became a religious school known as "Madrasah Taynaliyya.
