Adheem I (Battle of Belusium)

Adheem I, born Amenhotep, was Pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire, and the only Islamic Pharaoh in Egyptian history. Not long after ascending the throne, he converted to Islam, and attempted to turn Egypt into an Islamic state. He took the name "Adheem", and claimed the title "Sultan of Egypt", and tried to establish Shari'a law across the Empire.

Adheem's rule was marred by failed invasions and political scandals. Upon his conversion to Islam, Adheem comissioned the construction of a new capital city, which he named "Cairo", where many of the residents were forced to move. In an attempt to gain control of Islamic holy places, Adheem attempted to invade the Abbasid Empire several times, each of which failed miserably. These wars put great stress on the Egyptian treasurey, which caused an uproar in the Council of Commoners.

In an attempt to solidfy his rule in the Empire, Adheem attempted to dissolve the Council, though the attempt only resulted in rebellion spreading across the whole of Egypt Proper. Adheem died at the age 74, with some rumors that he had been poisoned. He was succeeded by his son Abyan, who repelead many of his father's changes, and took the title of Pharaoh, as Rameses XX.
