al-Nasir

1158 CE1225 CE · Baghdad

Al-Nasir (1158–1225) was the thirty-fourth Abbasid caliph, ruling from 1180 to 1225, and is generally regarded as the last caliph to restore substantial temporal power to the office. He worked to expand Abbasid authority in Iraq, reorganized the futuwwa fraternities under caliphal patronage, and pursued a complex diplomacy amid the rise of the Khwarazmian empire. He died in 1225, decades before the dynasty's fall to the Mongols.
