Fakhr al-Din II

Japanese: ファフル･アッディーン[2世]（英語表記）Fakhr al‐Dīn II

1572‐1635
Amir (governor) of the Ma'n family, a notable Druze dynasty in Lebanon. The Ma'n family had held control over the mountainous region of southern Lebanon since his grandfather's generation, but Fakhr al-Din was a skilled political strategist who allied with influential members of the Ottoman central government, defeated political opponents such as the Kurds one after another, and achieved unified control over Lebanon, including the coast. Furthermore, at the height of his power (around 1630), his Lebanese influence extended from northern Syria in the north to Palestine in the south. However, his growing power posed a threat to the Ottoman government, and he was defeated by a punitive force ordered by the central government in 1633, and executed in Istanbul in 1635.

レバノンのドルーズ派の名望家マーンMa‘n家に属するアミール(太守)。マーン家は祖父の代からレバノン南部の山岳部一帯の支配権を握っていたが，ファフル･アッディーンは政略に優れ，オスマン帝国中央政府の有力者たちと結び，クルドなどの政敵を次々と倒して，沿岸部を含むレバノン一帯の統一的支配をなしとげた。さらに全盛時(1630ころ)には，北はシリア北部から南はパレスティナにまでレバノンの勢力を伸張した。しかし，その勢力の増大はオスマン政府の脅威となり，1633年に中央政府の命による討伐軍に敗れ，35年にイスタンブールで処刑された。
