Saladin Rises in Egypt

1169 CE · Kahire · political

Saladin increased his administrative and military influence in Egypt during a period when Fatimid rule was weakening.

Having initially gone to Egypt with his uncle Shirkuh, Saladin gradually rose to a decisive position in the region's governance. This process paved the way for his later founding of the Ayyubid dynasty and marked the beginning of developments that made Egypt the center of the struggle against the Crusaders.
