Entrust sb with sth
The Sultan entrusted him with the governing of the Sanjak.
Does this sound stilted? Would 'appoint him' sound better?
Thanks for your answers.

Wikipedia informs me that a Sanjak was a territory or division in the Ottoman Empire, often with 100,000 occupants; so it was no small responsibility. Often the responsibility passed down to a son. To me ‘appoint’ seems more appropriate.
