A Historical and Analytical Study

Abstract

This study is a historical analysis of the political stance of the princes and leaders in the appointment of the Atabeg for King Mansour Muhammad, the son of King Al-Aziz in Egypt between the years (595-598 AH / 1198-1201 AD). After the death of Sultan Saladdin, his sons and relatives became the kings of his state, just as the Ayyubid State was divided into several kingtoms for them to rule. It was normal at the time that his sons were exposed to the state. Damascus went to King Al-Afdhal; Aleppo to King Al-Zahir and Egypt to King Al-Aziz. The emirs and leaders who became kings played a great military and political role, especially in the war and chaos between these brothers until the king (Aziz) Six years after his father's death in (595 AH / 1198 AD), he died, leaving behind several sons, but in terms of age They were only eleven years old, whose eldest son was only eleven years old, named (Al-Mansour Mohammed), so his father made a will and appointed a prince as the supervisor of his son. Therefore, we have analyzed a special study on the political attitudes of these leaders.
