They controlled the Abbasid Caliphs, who were only puppets under their rule, but they liked to maintain the fiction that they were legitimate subrulers of the caliphs, so they kept their names on coins like many of the other independent dynasties that sprang up after the tenth century. Some list them under &quot;Abbasid coins&quot; but modern scholars tend not to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
