Al-Muazzam Turanshah
1225 CE–1250 CE · Cairo
Al-Muazzam Turanshah (c. 1225-1250) was a son of as-Salih Ayyub and the last of the main Ayyubid line to rule Egypt. He arrived to take the throne in late 1249, in the closing stages of the Seventh Crusade, but quickly fell out with the Bahri Mamluk soldiers his father had raised. He was murdered by them in 1250, an act that ended Ayyubid rule in Egypt and inaugurated the Mamluk Sultanate. His death is generally taken to mark the founding transition of Mamluk power.
