TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi dates Amir’s killing to 23 Rabi I 923 AH, corresponding to 15 April 1517. His death closed Tahirid rule, while Mamluk forces held much of the lowlands and Yahya Sharaf al-Din expanded Zaydi authority in the highlands. The political outcome combined foreign military intervention with Yemeni alliances and resistance.
