User:Alexis Ivanov/Al-Muazzam Turanshah

History
The common background of al-Salih’s mamluks and the power they accumulated during his lifetime, coupled with the personal loyalty they felt towards him rather than to the Ayyubid house, enabled Shajar al-Durr to run the kingdom upon his death in 647/1249, during the Crusader invasion led by King Louis IX of France, and to install his son Turanshah on the throne. Turanshah’s attempts to consolidate his hold on power proved futile and brought about his murder and the eventual removal of the Ayyubid dynasty from Egypt in 648/1250
