Al-Malik an-Nasir is the most outstanding Mamluk sultan after Baybars.

During his long reign, the Mamluks had concluded a truce with the Mongols in 1232 after several major battles and, despite widespread famine, outbreaks of religious strife, and Bedouin uprisings, has maintained economic prosperity in Egypt and peaceful relations with foreign powers, both Muslim and Christian.

The Mamluks' failure to find an able successor after his death weakens the strength and stability of their realm, which begins to decline politically and economically.
