Sultan Salah-ud-Din Ayubi
?ala? ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub (1138 - March 4, 1193), better known as Saladin in medieval Europe, a Kurdish Muslim who was Sultan of Egypt and Syria. He led the Islamic opposition to the Third Crusade. At the height of his power, the Ayyubid Dynasty he founded, ruled over Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Hejaz, and Yemen. He led Muslim resistance to the European Crusaders and eventually recaptured some part of Palestine from the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. As such, he is a notable figure in Arab, Kurdish, and Islamic Culture. Saladin was a strict practitioner of Sunni Islam.. He did not maim, kill or retaliate against those whom he defeated with the notable exception of certain events following the Battle of Hattin. His generally chivalrous behaviour was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the siege of Kerak in Moab.
