11.4.1

When Rukn al-Dīn had been killed, the troops agreed to make his sister Raḍiyya ruler; they gave her the kingship and she ruled independently for four years. She rode with bow, quiver and bow-case as men ride, and did not veil her face.

Then she was suspected with an Abyssinian slave of hers, so the people agreed to depose her and marry her off. She was deposed and married to one of her relatives, and her brother Nāṣir al-Dīn took the kingship.
