History
Al-Mustadi was Abbasid caliph in Baghdad from 1170 until his death on 27 March 1180. He succeeded his father al-Mustanjid. A turquoise glass stamp from about 1170–1180 carries his name. His temporal realm was modest beside Saladin's Egypt and the eastern sultans.
The 1178 map seats him over Mesopotamia, about 18 counties, and lists him as independent. The neighbors are larger than the caliphate he actually administers.
