The Sultan Who Stopped The Mongols | Al-Zahir Baybars

Al-Zahir Baybars was not born a king. Captured as a child and sold into slavery, he rose through the Mamluk ranks to become one of the most powerful rulers of the medieval world. In this video, we explore the incredible life of Baybars — the warrior who played a key role in defeating the Crusaders during the Seventh Crusade, helped stop the Mongol advance at the Battle of Ain Jalut, and went on to become Sultan of Egypt and Syria. His victories changed the course of Middle Eastern history and made him one of the most respected military commanders of the 13th century. From slavery to the throne, this is the extraordinary story of Al-Zahir Baybars.
