His brother, al-Mutawakkil, took power and sought to diminish the influence of the powerful Turkish military elite by assassinating several Turkish leaders and relying on Arab and Armenian troops. In response, the Turkish military assassinated al-Mutawakkil in 861, sparking a decade of anarchy marked by civil war and political instability, with multiple caliphs serving as mere puppets of the Turkish military until order was restored under Caliph al-Mu'tamid in 870.
