However, the <a href="/wiki/Crusades" title="Crusades">Crusaders</a> reconquered the coast of <a href="/wiki/Palestine_(region)" title="Palestine (region)">Palestine</a> in the 1190s. After Saladin's death in 1193, his sons contested control of the sultanate, but Saladin's brother <a href="/wiki/Al-Adil" class="mw-redirect" title="Al-Adil">al-Adil</a> ultimately became the sultan in 1200. All of the later Ayyubid sultans of Egypt were his descendants. In the 1230s, the emirs of Syria attempted to assert their independence from Egypt and the Ayyubid realm remained divided until Sultan <a href="/wiki/As-Salih_Ayyub" title="As-Salih Ayyub">as-Salih Ayyub</a> restored its unity by subduing most of Syria, except <a href="/wiki/Aleppo" title="Aleppo">Aleppo</a>, by 1247. By then, local Muslim dynasties had driven out the Ayyubids from Yemen, the Hijaz, and parts of Mesopotamia.

This effectively ended Ayyubid power in Egypt. Attempts by the emirs of Syria, led by <a href="/wiki/An-Nasir_Yusuf" title="An-Nasir Yusuf">an-Nasir Yusuf</a> of Aleppo, to wrest back Egypt failed. In 1260, the <a href="/wiki/Mongol_Empire" title="Mongol Empire">Mongols</a> <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Aleppo_(1260)" title="Siege of Aleppo (1260)">sacked Aleppo</a> and conquered the Ayyubids' remaining territories soon after. The Mamluks, who expelled the Mongols, maintained the Ayyubid principality of <a href="/wiki/Hama" title="Hama">Hama</a> until deposing its last ruler in 1341. Despite their relatively short tenure, the Ayyubid dynasty had a transformative effect on the region, particularly Egypt. Under the Ayyubids, Egypt, which had previously been a formally Shi'a <a href="/wiki/Caliphate" title="Caliphate">caliphate</a>, became the dominant Sunni political and military force, and the economic and cultural centre of the region, a status that it would retain until it was conquered by the Ottomans in 1517. Throughout the sultanate, Ayyubid rule ushered in an era of economic prosperity, and the facilities and patronage provided by the Ayyubids led to a resurgence in intellectual activity in the <a href="/wiki/Islamic_world" class="mw-redirect" title="Islamic world">Islamic world</a>. This period was also marked by an Ayyubid process of vigorously strengthening <a href="/wiki/Sunni_Muslim" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunni Muslim">Sunni Muslim</a> dominance in the region by constructing numerous <a href="/wiki/Madrasa" title="Madrasa">madrasas</a> (Islamic schools of law) in their major cities.

Al-Afdal, however, found that his attachment to Damascus contributed to his undoing. Several of his father's subordinate emirs left the city for Cairo to lobby Uthman to oust him on claims he was inexperienced and intended to oust the Ayyubid old guard. Al-Adil further encouraged Uthman to act in order prevent al-Afdal's incompetence putting the Ayyubid empire in jeopardy. Thus, in 1194, Uthman openly demanded the sultanate. Uthman's claim to the throne was settled in a series of assaults on Damascus in 1196, forcing al-Afdal to leave for a lesser post at <a href="/wiki/Salkhad" title="Salkhad">Salkhad</a>.

As-Salih Ayyub eventually occupied Damascus in December 1238, but his uncle Ismail retrieved the city in September 1239. Ismail's cousin an-Nasir Dawud had Ismail detained in Karak in a move to prevent the latter's arrest by al-Adil II. Ismail entered into an alliance with Dawud who released him the following year, allowing him to proclaim himself sultan in place of al-Adil II in May 1240. Throughout the early 1240s, as-Salih Ayyub carried out reprisals against those who supported al-Adil II, and he then quarreled with an-Nasir Dawud who had reconciled with as-Salih Ismail of Damascus.

A settlement was eventually reached whereby an-Nasir Dawud would retain the fortress, but cede the remainder of his principality to as-Salih Ayyub.

This troubled the Ayyubids of Aleppo who feared it would be used as a base for a military take-over of their city. An-Nasir Yusuf found this intolerable and decided to annex Homs in the winter of 1248. The city surrendered in August and an-Nasir Yusuf's terms forced al-Ashraf Musa to hand over Homs, but he was allowed to retain nearby <a href="/wiki/Palmyra" title="Palmyra">Palmyra</a> and Tell Bashir in the <a href="/wiki/Syrian_Desert" title="Syrian Desert">Syrian Desert</a>.

When as-Salih Ayyub, who was in Syria at the time, heard of this, he rushed back to Egypt, avoiding Damietta, instead reaching Mansurah. There, he organized an army and raised a commando force which harassed the Crusaders.<a href="#cite_note-Ali35-108">[108]</a> As-Salih Ayyub was ill and his health deteriorated further due to the mounting pressure from the Crusader offensive. His wife <a href="/wiki/Shajar_al-Durr" title="Shajar al-Durr">Shajar al-Durr</a> called a meeting of all the war generals and thus became commander-in-chief of the Egyptian forces. She ordered the fortification of Mansurah and then stored large quantities of provisions and concentrated her forces there. She also organized a fleet of war galleys and scattered them at various strategic points along the Nile River. Crusader attempts to capture Mansurah were thwarted and King Louis found himself in a critical position. He managed to cross the Nile to launch a surprise attack against Mansurah. Meanwhile, as-Salih Ayyub died, but Shajar al-Durr and as-Salih Ayyub's <a href="/wiki/Bahri_dynasty" class="mw-redirect" title="Bahri dynasty">Bahri Mamluk</a> generals, including <a href="/wiki/Baibars" class="mw-redirect" title="Baibars">Rukn al-Din Baybars</a> and <a href="/wiki/Aybak" title="Aybak">Aybak</a>, countered the assault and inflicted heavy losses on the Crusaders. Simultaneously, Egyptian forces cut off the Crusader's line of supply from Damietta, preventing the arrival of reinforcements. As-Salih Ayyub's son and the newly proclaimed Ayyubid sultan <a href="/wiki/Al-Muazzam_Turanshah" title="Al-Muazzam Turanshah">al-Mu'azzam Turan-Shah</a> reached Mansurah at this point and intensified <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Mansurah_(1250)" title="Battle of Mansurah (1250)">the battle</a> against the Crusaders.

In December 1250, he attacked Egypt after hearing of al-Mu'azzam Turan-Shah's death and the ascension of Shajar al-Durr. An-Nasir Yusuf's army was much larger and better-equipped than that of the Egyptian army, consisting of the forces of Aleppo, Homs, Hama, and those of Saladin's only surviving sons, Nusrat ad-Din and Turan-Shah ibn Salah ad-Din.<a href="#cite_note-Humphreys316-112">[112]</a> Nonetheless, it suffered a major defeat at the hands of Aybak's forces. An-Nasir Yusuf subsequently returned to Syria, which was slowly slipping out of his control.<a href="#cite_note-Tabbaa29-30-111">[111]</a> The Mamluks forged an alliance with the Crusaders in March 1252 and agreed to jointly launch a campaign against an-Nasir Yusuf. King Louis, who had been released after al-Mu'azzam Turan-Shah's murder, led his army to Jaffa, while Aybak intended to send his forces to Gaza. Upon hearing of the alliance, an-Nasir Yusuf immediately dispatched a force to <a href="/wiki/Tell_al-Ajjul" class="mw-redirect" title="Tell al-Ajjul">Tell al-Ajjul</a>, just outside Gaza, in order to prevent the junction of the Mamluk and Crusader armies. Meanwhile, the rest of the Ayyubid army was stationed in the <a href="/wiki/Jordan_Valley_(Middle_East)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jordan Valley (Middle East)">Jordan Valley</a>. Realizing that a war between them would greatly benefit the Crusaders, Aybak and an-Nasir Yusuf accepted Abbasid mediation via Najm ad-Din al-Badhirai. In April 1253, a treaty was signed whereby the Mamluks would retain control over all of Egypt and Palestine up to, but not including, Nablus, while an-Nasir Yusuf would be confirmed as the ruler of Muslim Syria. Thus, Ayyubid rule was officially ended in Egypt.<a href="#cite_note-Humphreys322-323-113">[113]</a> After conflict arose between the Mamluks and the Ayyubids reignited, al-Badhirai arranged another treaty, this time giving an-Nasir Yusuf control of the Mamluks' territories in Palestine and <a href="/wiki/Al-Arish" class="mw-redirect" title="Al-Arish">al-Arish</a> in Sinai. Instead of placing Ayyubids in charge, however, an-Nasir Yusuf handed Jerusalem to a Mamluk named Kutuk while Nablus and <a href="/wiki/Jenin" title="Jenin">Jenin</a> were given to Baibars.<a href="#cite_note-Humphreys328-114">[114]</a> For over a year after the settlement with the Mamluks, calm settled over an-Nasir Yusuf's reign, but on 11 December 1256 he sent two envoys to the Abbasids in Baghdad seeking formal investiture from the caliph, <a href="/wiki/Al-Musta%27sim" title="Al-Musta'sim">al-Musta'sim</a>, for his role as "Sultan". This request was connected to an-Nasir's rivalry with Aybak, as the title would be useful in future disputes with the Mamluks. However, the Mamluks had sent their envoys to Baghdad previously to precisely ensure that an-Nasir Yusuf would not gain the title, putting al-Musta'sim in a difficult position.<a href="#cite_note-Humphreys328-114">[114]</a> In early 1257, Aybak was killed in a conspiracy, and was succeeded by his 15-year-old son, <a href="/wiki/Al-Mansur_Ali" title="Al-Mansur Ali">al-Mansur Ali</a>, while <a href="/wiki/Qutuz" title="Qutuz">Saif ad-Din Qutuz</a> held an influential position. Soon after al-Mansur Ali's ascendancy rumors of another conspiracy to which an-Nasir Yusuf had an alleged connection emerged. The accused conspirator, al-Mansur Ali's vizier, Sharaf ad-Din al-Fa'izi, was strangled by Egyptian authorities. The Bahri Mamluks in Syria led by Baibars pressured an-Nasir Yusuf to intervene by invading Egypt, but he would not act, fearing the Bahri dynasty would usurp his throne if they gained Egypt. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Karak_asserts_independence">Karak asserts independence</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ayyubid_dynasty&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Karak asserts independence">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ayyubids_1257.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Ayyubids_1257.png/200px-Ayyubids_1257.png" decoding="async" width="200" height="145" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Ayyubids_1257.png/300px-Ayyubids_1257.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/51/Ayyubids_1257.png/400px-Ayyubids_1257.png 2x" data-file-width="430" data-file-height="311" /></a><figcaption>Ayyubid territories in 1257.

An-Nasir Yusuf sent an embassy to the Mongol capital <a href="/wiki/Karakorum" title="Karakorum">Karakorum</a> in 1250, shortly after assuming power. These understandings did not last, however, and the Mongol Great Khan, <a href="/wiki/M%C3%B6ngke_Khan" title="Möngke Khan">Möngke</a>, issued a directive to his brother <a href="/wiki/Hulagu_Khan" class="mw-redirect" title="Hulagu Khan">Hulagu</a> to extend the realms of the empire to the Nile River. The latter raised an army of 120,000 and in 1258, sacked Baghdad and slaughtered its inhabitants, including Caliph al-Musta'sim and most of his family after the Ayyubids failed to assemble an army to protect the city.<a href="#cite_note-Burns195-196-117">[117]</a> That same year the Ayyubids lost Diyar Bakr to the Mongols.<a href="#cite_note-DumperStanley128-118">[118]</a> An-Nasir Yusuf sent a delegation to Hulagu afterward, repeating his protestations to submission. Hulagu refused to accept the terms and so an-Nasir Yusuf called on Cairo for aid. This plea coincided with a successful coup by the Cairo-based Mamluks against the remaining symbolic Ayyubid leadership in Egypt, with strongman <a href="/wiki/Qutuz" title="Qutuz">Qutuz</a> officially taking power. Meanwhile, an Ayyubid army was assembled at <a href="/wiki/Barzeh,_Syria" title="Barzeh, Syria">Birzeh</a>, just north of Damascus to defend the city against the Mongols who were now marching towards northern Syria. <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Aleppo_(1260)" title="Siege of Aleppo (1260)">Aleppo was soon besieged</a> within a week and in January 1260 it fell to the Mongols.

Hama also capitulated without resisting, but did not join forces with the Mongols.<a href="#cite_note-Grousset362-120">[120]</a> An-Nasir Yusuf opted to flee Damascus to seek protection in Gaza.<a href="#cite_note-Burns197-119">[119]</a> Hulagu departed for Karakorum and left <a href="/wiki/Kitbuqa" title="Kitbuqa">Kitbuqa</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Nestorian_Christian" class="mw-redirect" title="Nestorian Christian">Nestorian Christian</a> general, to continue the Mongol conquest. Damascus capitulated after the arrival of the Mongol army, but was not sacked like other captured Muslim cities. However, from Gaza, an-Nasir Yusuf managed to rally the small garrison he left in the Citadel of Damascus to rebel against the Mongol occupation. The Mongols retaliated by launching a massive artillery assault on the citadel and when it became apparent that an-Nasir Yusuf was unable to relieve the city with a newly assembled army, the garrison surrendered.<a href="#cite_note-Burns197-119">[119]</a> The Mongols proceeded by conquering Samaria, killing most of the Ayyubid garrison in Nablus, and then advanced south, as far as Gaza, unhindered. An-Nasir Yusuf was soon captured by the Mongols and used to persuade the garrison at Ajlun to capitulate. Afterward, the junior Ayyubid governor of <a href="/wiki/Banias" title="Banias">Banyas</a> allied with the Mongols,<a href="#cite_note-Grousset362-120">[120]</a> who had now gained control of most of Syria and al-Jazira, effectively ending Ayyubid power in the region.

Under this arrangement there existed numerous "petty sultans" while one family member, as-Sultan al-Mu'azzam, reigned supreme. After the death of Saladin, this coveted position became open to whoever was strong enough to seize it. Subsequent rivalry between the Ayyubids of Syria and Egypt reached a point where the rulers of each territory would at times collude with Crusaders against the other.<a href="#cite_note-Jackson36-128">[128]</a> Ayyubid rule differed in these two regions. In Syria, each major city was ruled as a relatively independent principality under an Ayyubid family member, while in Egypt the long tradition of centralized rule enabled the Ayyubids to maintain direct control over the province from Cairo.<a href="#cite_note-HouraniRuthven131-129">[129]</a> It was <a href="/wiki/Baghdad" title="Baghdad">Baghdad</a>, seat of the <a href="/wiki/Caliphate" title="Caliphate">Caliphate</a>, however, that exercised cultural and political hegemony over the Ayyubid territories, particularly those in <a href="/wiki/Southwest_Asia" class="mw-redirect" title="Southwest Asia">Southwest Asia</a>. For instance, the <a href="/wiki/Qadi" title="Qadi">qadi</a> ("chief justice") of Damascus was still appointed by the Abbasids during Ayyubid rule.<a href="#cite_note-Jackson36-128">[128]</a> Political power was concentrated in the Ayyubid household which was not necessarily characterized only by blood relation; slaves and intimates could acquire great, and even supreme power within it. It was a common occurrence for the mothers of young Ayyubid rulers to act as independent powers or in a few cases, rulers in their own right. <a href="/wiki/Eunuch_(court_official)" class="mw-redirect" title="Eunuch (court official)">Eunuchs</a> exercised substantial power under the Ayyubids, serving as attendants and <a href="/wiki/Atabeg" title="Atabeg">atabegs</a> within the household or as emirs, governors, and army commanders outside the household. One of Saladin's most important supporters was the eunuch <a href="/wiki/Baha_ad-Din_ibn_Shaddad" title="Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad">Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad</a> who helped him depose the Fatimids, dispossess their properties, and construct the wall of Cairo's citadel. Following the death of al-Aziz Uthman, he became the regent of his son al-Mansur and effectively ruled over Egypt for a short time before the arrival of al-Adil. Later sultans appointed eunuchs as deputy sultans and even awarded them sovereignty over certain cities, such as Shams al-Din Sawab who was given the <a href="/wiki/Upper_Mesopotamia" title="Upper Mesopotamia">Jaziran</a> cities of <a href="/wiki/Amid" class="mw-redirect" title="Amid">Amid</a> and Diyar Bakr in 1239.<a href="#cite_note-DalyPetry239-240-130">[130]</a> The Ayyubids had three principal means of recruiting the educated elites whom they needed to administer their cities and towns. Some of these local leaders, known as <a href="/wiki/Shaykh" class="mw-redirect" title="Shaykh">shaykhs</a>, entered the service of an Ayyubid ruling household and thus their bids for power were supported from Ayyubid household revenues and influence. Others were paid directly out of revenues made from the <a href="/wiki/Divan" title="Divan">diwan</a>, a high governmental body of the state. The third method was assignment to the shaykhs of the revenues of charitable endowments, known as <a href="/wiki/Waqf" title="Waqf">waqfs</a>.<a href="#cite_note-DalyPetry231-131">[131]</a> The Ayyubids, like their various predecessors in the region, had relatively few state agencies by which they could penetrate their cities and towns. To link themselves with the educated elite of their cities, they relied on the political usage of patronage practices. The assignment of waqf revenue to this elite was similar to the assignment of fiefs (iqta'at) to the commanders and generals of the army. In both cases, it enabled the Ayyubids to recruit a dependent, but not administratively subordinate elite.<a href="#cite_note-DalyPetry232-132">[132]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Governor_of_Rahba._Maqamat_of_al-Hariri,_Baghdad_1237.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Governor_of_Rahba._Maqamat_of_al-Hariri%2C_Baghdad_1237.jpg/220px-Governor_of_Rahba._Maqamat_of_al-Hariri%2C_Baghdad_1237.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="369" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Governor_of_Rahba._Maqamat_of_al-Hariri%2C_Baghdad_1237.jpg/330px-Governor_of_Rahba._Maqamat_of_al-Hariri%2C_Baghdad_1237.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Governor_of_Rahba._Maqamat_of_al-Hariri%2C_Baghdad_1237.jpg/440px-Governor_of_Rahba._Maqamat_of_al-Hariri%2C_Baghdad_1237.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1681" data-file-height="2820" /></a><figcaption>The Governor of <a href="/wiki/Al-Rahba" title="Al-Rahba">al-Rahba</a>.

The city provided a strategic advantage in the constant war with the Crusaders and allowed the sultan to keep an eye on his relatively ambitious vassals in Syria and al-Jazira. Cairo was too remote to serve as a base of operations, but had always served as the economic foundation of the empire. This rendered the city a critical constituent in the repertoire of the Ayyubid possessions.<a href="#cite_note-Jackson36-128">[128]</a> When Saladin was proclaimed sultan in Cairo in 1171, he chose the Fatimid-built Lesser Western Palace (part of a larger palace complex in Cairo isolated from the urban sprawl) as the seat of government. Saladin himself resided in the former Fatimid vizier palace, Turan-Shah took up a former Fatimid prince's living quarter, and their father occupied the Pearl Pavilion which was situated outside of Cairo overlooking the city's canal. The successive Ayyubid sultans of Egypt would live in the Lesser Western Palace.<a href="#cite_note-Lev11-135">[135]</a> After al-Adil I seized the throne in Cairo and with it the sultanate of the Ayyubid oligarchy, the period of rivalry between Damascus and Cairo to become capital of the Ayyubid empire commenced. Under al-Adil and al-Kamil, Damascus continued as an autonomous province whose ruler reserved the right to designate his own heir, but during as-Salih Ayyub's rule, military campaigns against Syria reduced Damascus to a vassal of Cairo.<a href="#cite_note-Jackson37-136">[136]</a> In addition, Ayyub established new rules both in administration and government in order to centralize his regime; he conferred the most prominent positions of the state to his close confidants, instead of his Ayyubid relatives. His wife Shajar al-Durr, for example, managed the affairs of Egypt while he was in Syria. Ayyub officially delegated his authority to his dead son Khalil and made al-Durr act formally on Khalil's behalf.<a href="#cite_note-VermeulenDeSmetVanSteenbergen211-212-137">[137]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Feudal_system">Feudal system</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ayyubid_dynasty&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Feudal system">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Iqta%27" title="Iqta'">Iqta'</a></div> Saladin established the iqta' system that remained in practice until the end of Ayyubid rule.

The war with the Crusaders did not prevent Muslims under Ayyubid governance from developing good commercial relations with <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">European</a> states. This led to fruitful interaction between both sides in different fields of economic activity, particularly in agriculture and trade.<a href="#cite_note-Ali37-160">[160]</a> Numerous measures were undertaken by the Ayyubids to increase agricultural production. Canals were dug to facilitate the irrigation of agricultural lands throughout the empire. Cultivation of <a href="/wiki/Sugarcane" title="Sugarcane">sugarcane</a> was officially encouraged to meet the great demand of it by both the local inhabitants and the Europeans. Meanwhile, as a result of the Crusades, several new plants were introduced to Europe, including <a href="/wiki/Sesame" title="Sesame">sesame</a>, <a href="/wiki/Carob" title="Carob">carob</a>, millet, rice, lemons, melons, <a href="/wiki/Apricot" title="Apricot">apricots</a>, and shallots.<a href="#cite_note-Ali37-160">[160]</a> The main factor which boosted industry and trade under the Ayyubids was the new interests Europeans developed when they came into contact with the Muslims.

In addition, eastern works of art in glass, pottery, gold, silver, etc., were highly prized in Europe.<a href="#cite_note-Ali37-160">[160]</a> The European demand for agricultural products and industrial commodities stimulated maritime activity and international trade to an unprecedented extent.

Bills of exchange were also used by them in their dealings with one another and money was deposited in various banking centers throughout Syria. The encouragement of trade and industry provided the Ayyubid sultans with the funds needed for military expenditure as well as for developmental and everyday lifestyle works. Special attention was made to the economic state of the empire under al-Adil and al-Kamil.

Their wives and daughters, commanders, and nobles established and financed numerous educational institutions as well.<a href="#cite_note-Ali38-161">[161]</a> Although the Ayyubids were from the <a href="/wiki/Shafi%27i" class="mw-redirect" title="Shafi'i">Shafi'i</a> denomination, they built schools for imparting instruction in all four of the Sunni systems of religious-juridical thought. Before the Ayyubid takeover, there were no schools for the Hanbali and Maliki denominations in Syria, but the Ayyubids founded separate schools for them. In the mid-13th century, <a href="/wiki/Baha_ad-Din_ibn_Shaddad" title="Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad">Ibn Shaddad</a> counted in Damascus 40 Shafi'i, 34 <a href="/wiki/Hanafi" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanafi">Hanafi</a>, 10 Hanbali, and three Maliki schools.<a href="#cite_note-Ali39-162">[162]</a> When Saladin restored Sunni orthodoxy in Egypt, 10 madrasas were established in Cairo during his reign, and an additional 25 during the entire Ayyubid period of rule. Each of their locations had religious, political, and economic significance, in particular those in al-Fustat. Most of the schools were dedicated to the Shafi'i denomination, but others belonged to the Maliki and Hanafi <a href="/wiki/Madhab" class="mw-redirect" title="Madhab">madhabs</a>. The madrasas built near the <a href="/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Imam_al-Shafi%27i" title="Mausoleum of Imam al-Shafi'i">tomb</a> of <a href="/wiki/Al-Shafi%E2%80%98i" class="mw-redirect" title="Al-Shafi‘i">Imam al-Shafi'i</a> were located adjacent to the important centers of pilgrimage and were a major focus of Sunni devotion.<a href="#cite_note-Yeomans111-163">[163]</a> About 26 schools were built in Egypt, Jerusalem and Damascus by high-ranking government officials, and unusual for the time, commoners also founded in Egypt about 18 schools, including two medical institutions.<a href="#cite_note-Ali39-162">[162]</a> Most schools were residential whereby both teachers and students resided as a rule. The teachers appointed were jurists, theologians, and traditionalists who received their salary from endowments to the institutions they taught in. Each student was offered a lodging where he would resort, a teacher to instruct him in whatever art he requested, and regular grants to cover all his needs. Madrasas were considered prestigious institutions in society. Under the Ayyubids, it was not possible to obtain a job in the government without receiving an education from a madrasa.<a href="#cite_note-Ali39-162">[162]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Science_and_medicine">Science and medicine</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ayyubid_dynasty&action=edit&section=32" title="Edit section: Science and medicine">edit</a>]</div> The facilities and patronage provided by the Ayyubids led to a resurgence in intellectual activity in different branches of knowledge and learning throughout the territories they controlled. They took special interest in the fields of medicine, pharmacology, and botany. Saladin built and maintained two hospitals in Cairo emulating the well-known Nuri Hospital in Damascus which not only treated patients, but also provided medical schooling. Many scientists and physicians flourished in this period in Egypt, Syria, and <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a>.

The most radical change Saladin implemented in Egypt was the enclosure of Cairo and al-Fustat within one city wall.<a href="#cite_note-Yeomans104-105-165">[165]</a> Some of the techniques of fortification were learned from the <a href="/wiki/Crusaders" class="mw-redirect" title="Crusaders">Crusaders</a>, such as curtain walls following the natural topography. Many were also inherited from the Fatimids like <a href="/wiki/Machicolations" class="mw-redirect" title="Machicolations">machicolations</a> and round towers, while other techniques were developed simultaneously by the Ayyubids, particularly concentric planning.<a href="#cite_note-Peterson26-166">[166]</a> Muslim women, particularly those from the Ayyubid family, the families of local governors, and the families of the <a href="/wiki/Ulema" class="mw-redirect" title="Ulema">ulema</a> ("religious scholars") took an active role in Ayyubid architecture. Damascus witnessed the most sustained patronage of religious architecture by women.

According to <a href="/wiki/Al-Maqrizi" title="Al-Maqrizi">al-Maqrizi</a>, Saladin chose the <a href="/wiki/Mokattam" title="Mokattam">Muqattam Hills</a> to build the citadel because the air there was fresher than anywhere else in the city, but its construction was not so much determined by the salubrious atmosphere; rather it was out of defensive necessity and example of existing fortresses and citadels in Syria. The walls and towers of the northern section of the citadel are largely the works of Saladin and al-Kamil.<a href="#cite_note-Yeomans104-105-165">[165]</a> Al-Kamil completed the citadel; he strengthened and enlarged some of the existing towers (such as two of Saladin's towers that were enlarged by totally encasing them in semi-circular units), and also added a number of square towers which served as self-contained keeps. According to Richard Yeomans, the most impressive of al-Kamil's structures was the series of massive rectangular keeps which straddled the walls of the northern enclosure.<a href="#cite_note-Yeomans109-110-168">[168]</a> All of al-Kamil's fortifications can be identified by their embossed, rusticated masonry, whereas Saladin's towers have smooth dressed stones. This heavier rustic style became a common feature in other Ayyubid fortifications, and can be seen in the <a href="/wiki/Citadel_of_Damascus" title="Citadel of Damascus">Citadel of Damascus</a> and that of <a href="/wiki/Bosra" title="Bosra">Bosra</a> in Syria.<a href="#cite_note-Yeomans111-163">[163]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ayyubid_wall_cyark_2.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Ayyubid_wall_cyark_2.jpg/220px-Ayyubid_wall_cyark_2.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="131" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Ayyubid_wall_cyark_2.jpg/330px-Ayyubid_wall_cyark_2.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Ayyubid_wall_cyark_2.jpg/440px-Ayyubid_wall_cyark_2.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1596" data-file-height="948" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/3D_scanner" class="mw-redirect" title="3D scanner">3D laser scan</a> data image of the <a href="/wiki/Bab_al-Barqiyya" title="Bab al-Barqiyya">Bab al-Barqiyya</a> Gate in the 12th century Ayyubid Wall that borders <a href="/wiki/Al-Azhar_Park" title="Al-Azhar Park">Al-Azhar Park</a>.

Ayyubid architectural achievements focused on four areas: the <a href="/wiki/Citadel_of_Aleppo" title="Citadel of Aleppo">citadel</a>, the waterworks, fortifications, and the extramural developments. The total rebuilding of the city enclosure began when az-Zahir Ghazi removed the <a href="/wiki/Vallum" title="Vallum">vallum</a> of Nur ad-Din—which by then outlived its temporary need—and rebuilt the northern and northwestern walls—the most susceptible to outside attack—from <a href="/wiki/Bab_al-Jinan" title="Bab al-Jinan">Bab al-Jinan</a> to <a href="/wiki/Bab_al-Nasr_(Aleppo)" title="Bab al-Nasr (Aleppo)">Bab al-Nasr</a>. He parceled out the building of the towers on this stretch of the wall to his princes and military officers; each tower was identified with a particular prince who inscribed his name into it. Later, az-Zahir Ghazi extended the eastern wall to the south and east, reflecting his desire to incorporate a dilapidated fortress, Qala'at al-Sharif, outside the city into Aleppo's enclosure.<a href="#cite_note-Tabbaa19-169">[169]</a> <a href="/wiki/Bab_Qinnasrin" title="Bab Qinnasrin">Bab Qinnasrin</a> was completely rebuilt by an-Nasir Yusuf in 1256. This gate stands today as a masterpiece of medieval Syrian military architecture.<a href="#cite_note-Tabbaa21-22-170">[170]</a> Cumulatively, Ayyubid architecture left a lasting impression in <a href="/wiki/Aleppo" title="Aleppo">Aleppo</a>. The citadel was rebuilt, the water network was expanded, and streets and quarters were provided fountains and baths. In addition, dozens of shrines, mosques, madrasas, and mausoleums were built throughout the city.<a href="#cite_note-Tabbaa26-171">[171]</a> The Ayyubid period in Jerusalem following its conquest by Saladin was marked by a huge investment in the construction of houses, markets, public bathes, and pilgrim hostels.

Although the candlestick does not have a date, it is securely datable to the early 13th century, as it clearly belongs to a group of metalwork that has now been established as of that period and coming from the Mosul or North Jaziran area. These elements also confirm the early 13th-century date of the Palmer Cup and further support the region of provenance.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Text+and+Image+on+Middle+Eastern+Objects%3A+The+Palmer+Cup+in+Context+%28in+A+Rothschild+Renaissance%3A+A+New+Look+at+the+Waddesdon+Bequest+in+the+British+Museum%29&rft.pages=130&rft.pub=British+Museum+Research+Publications&rft.date=2017&rft.aulast=Contadini&rft.aufirst=Anna&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.researchgate.net%2Fpublication%2F317006955&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAyyubid+dynasty" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Lev22-68"><a href="#cite_ref-Lev22_68-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFLev1999">Lev 1999</a>, p. 22 </li> <li id="cite_note-Lev100-101-69"><a href="#cite_ref-Lev100-101_69-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFLev1999">Lev 1999</a>, pp. 100–101 </li> <li id="cite_note-Lane-Poole1906p155-156-70"><a href="#cite_ref-Lane-Poole1906p155-156_70-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFLane-Poole1906">Lane-Poole 1906</a>, pp. 155–156 </li> <li id="cite_note-Smail35-36-71"><a href="#cite_ref-Smail35-36_71-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFSmail1995">Smail 1995</a>, pp. 35–36 </li> <li id="cite_note-LyonsJackson195-72"><a href="#cite_ref-LyonsJackson195_72-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFLyonsJackson1982">Lyons & Jackson 1982</a>, p. 195 </li> <li id="cite_note-LyonsJackson202-203-73"><a href="#cite_ref-LyonsJackson202-203_73-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFLyonsJackson1982">Lyons & Jackson 1982</a>, pp. 202–203 </li> <li id="cite_note-BosworthDonzelHeinrichsPellat781-74">^ <a href="#cite_ref-BosworthDonzelHeinrichsPellat781_74-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-BosworthDonzelHeinrichsPellat781_74-1">b</a> <a href="#cite_ref-BosworthDonzelHeinrichsPellat781_74-2">c</a> <a href="#CITEREFHumphreys1991">Humphreys 1991</a>, p. 781 </li> <li id="cite_note-LyonsJackson221-75"><a href="#cite_ref-LyonsJackson221_75-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFLyonsJackson1982">Lyons & Jackson 1982</a>, p. 221 </li> <li id="cite_note-Lane-Poole1906p177-181-76"><a href="#cite_ref-Lane-Poole1906p177-181_76-0">^</a> <a href="#CITEREFLane-Poole1906">Lane-Poole 1906</a>, pp. 177–181 </li> <li id="cite_note-77"><a href="#cite_ref-77">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMinorsky1953" class="citation book cs1">Minorsky, V.
