#qutuz

Baibars, one of the Mamluk commanders who along with Qutuz defeated the Mongols at Ayn Jalut in 1260, would take this famous Crusader fortress in 1271. It’s always interesting to me how discussion of the fall of the Krak leave out Baibars’ history with the Mongols, and discussions of Ayn Jalut don’t tend to ever mention much on his career mopping up the Crusader states. This is on old drawing I did, but I've always liked it.

Qutuz: From Slave to Sultan tells the inspiring journey of Sultan Saif ad-Din Qutuz, who rose from being a Mamluk slave to becoming one of the greatest Muslim leaders. His defining moment came at the Battle of Ain Jalut (1260), where he led the Mamluks to a decisive victory against the Mongols, halting their westward expansion into the Muslim world. His bravery, leadership, and sacrifice cemented his legacy as a hero of Islamic history.
