Saladin's successors in the Ayyubid Sultanate quarrel…

1252 CE to 1395 CE

Saladin's successors in the Ayyubid Sultanate quarrel among themselves, and Saladin' s conquests break up into squabbling petty principalities.

The Ayyubid Dynasty is overthrown in 1260 by the Mamluks (a caste of slave-soldiers, mostly of Kurdish and Circassian origin), whose warrior-sultans repels the Mongol incursions and by the late fourteenth century hold sway from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Their power, weakened by factionalism within their ranks, contracts during the next century in the face of a dynamic new power in the Middle East—the Ottoman Turks.
