Aybak (d. 1257) (Turkish: Aybeg; Arabic: المعز عز الدين أيبك) was the first of the Mameluke sultans of Egypt in the Turkish, or Bahri, line[1]. He ruled from 1250 to 1257. He assumed power by marrying the wife of the next-to-last of the Ayyubid sultans of Egypt (the dynasty established by Saladin). For several years, he and his wife, Shajar al-Durr shared power in an uneasy but effective alliance. But ultimately --- in what was meant to be a preemptive strike against Aybak who was attempting to establish sole power --- the sultana had him murdered in 1257. She was killed in revenge shortly thereafter.
Before their deaths, Aybak and Shajar al-Durr firmly established the Mameluke Dynasty that would ultimately repulse the Mongols, expel the European Crusaders from the Holy Land, and would remain the most powerful political force in the Middle East until the coming of the Ottomans.


Baibars

al-Malik al-Zahir Rukn al-Din Baibars al-Bunduqdari (also spelled Baybars) (Arabic: الملك* ‬الظاهر* ‬ركن* ‬الدين* ‬بيبرس* ‬البندقداري) (1223 – July 1, 1277) was a Mamluk Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He was a Kipchak Turk[1][2] captured and sold in Kipchak steppe. It was said that he was captured by the Mongols and sold as a slave, ending up in Syria.
His first master, the emir (prince) of Hama, was suspicious of Baibars because of his unusual appearance (he was gigantically tall, with golden light blond hair, and an odd white spot in one of his dark blue eyes). Baibars was quickly sold to a Mamluk officer and sent to Egypt, where he became a bodyguard to the Ayyubid ruler As-Salih Ayyub.

Origins


The origins of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt lies in the Ayyubid Dynasty that Saladin (Salah ad-Din) founded in 1174. With his uncle Shirkuh he conquered Egypt for the Zengid King Nur ad-Din of Damascus in 1169. By 1189, after the capture of Jerusalem, Saladin had solidified his Kurdish family's control over the Middle East. After Saladin's death his sons fell to squabbling over the division of the Empire, and each attempted to surround themselves with larger expanded mamluk retinues.
By 1200 Saladin's brother, Al-Adil, succeeded in securing control over the whole empire by defeating and killing or imprisoning his brothers and nephews in turn. With each victory, Al-Adil incorporated the defeated mamluk retinue into his own. This process was repeated at Al-Adil's death in 1218, and at his son Al-Kamil's death in 1238. The Ayyubid's became increasingly surrounded by the power of the mamluks and soon involved them in the internal court politics of the kingdom itself.


French attack and Mamluk takeover


In June 1249, the Seventh Crusade under Louis IX of France landed in Egypt and took Damietta. The Egyptian troops retreated at first. When the Egyptian sultan As-Salih Ayyub died, the power passed briefly to his son Turanshah and then his favorite wife Shajar Al-Durr (or Shajarat-ul-Dur). She took control with mamluk support and launched a counterattack. Troops of the Bahirya commander Baibars defeated Louis's troops and the king delayed the retreat too long. The Mamluks captured him in March 1250 and received a ransom of 400,000 livres. Political pressure for a male leader made Shajar marry the mamluk commander Aybak. Aybak was later killed in his bath and in the following power struggle vice-regent Qutuz took over. He formally founded the first Mamluk sultanate and the Bahri dynasty.
The first Mamluk dynasty was named Bahri after the name of one of the regiments, the Bahirya or River Island regiment. The name Bahri (بحري meaning 'of the sea') referred to their center in al-Manial Island in the Nile. The regiment consisted mainly of Kipchak Turks and Circassians.


Mamluks and the Mongols


When the Mongol troops of Hulegu Khan sacked Baghdad and took over Damascus in 1258, one of those who escaped from Damascus was the Mamluk general Baibars. He fled to Cairo. When Hulegu demanded that Qutuz surrender Cairo, Qutuz had Hulegu's envoys killed and, with Baibars' help, mobilized his troops. Although Hulegu had to leave for the east when great Khan Mongke died, he left his lieutenant Kit Buqa in charge. Qutuz drew the Mongol army into an ambush near the Orontes River, routed them at the Battle of Ain Jalut and captured and executed Kit Buqa.
But Qutuz' triumph did not last long: When he and the mamluks returned to Cairo, Baibars assassinated Qutuz and seized power. In the following centuries, power would transfer the same way numerous times; the average reign of a mamluk ruler was seven years.
The Mamluks defeated the Mongols the second time in Homs in 1260 and began to drive them back east. In the process they consolidated their power over Syria, fortified the area, formed mail routes and formed diplomatic connections between the local princes. Baibars troops also defeated the last of the Crusader states in the Holy Land.
