Qutuz
?–1260 CE · Cairo
Saif ad-Din Qutuz (died 1260) was a Mamluk sultan of Egypt who took the throne in 1259 as the Mongol threat to Syria mounted. In 1260 he led the Egyptian army north and, with his commander Baybars, defeated the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut in Galilee, a victory that halted the Mongol advance into the Levant. Shortly after this success he was assassinated by a group of officers led by Baybars. Baybars then succeeded him as sultan.
