As-Salih Ayyub
1205 CE–1249 CE · Cairo
As-Salih Ayyub (1205-1249) was the last effective Ayyubid sultan of Egypt, reigning from 1240 to 1249. He greatly expanded the corps of Bahri Mamluk slave-soldiers, whose growing power would soon displace his own dynasty. He died in 1249 during the Seventh Crusade led by Louis IX of France, which had invaded Egypt. His death, concealed at first by his widow Shajar al-Durr, hastened the crisis that ended Ayyubid rule in Egypt.
