Aybak (Turkish: ay, moon; bak, commander) was an Emir/commander of Turkic origin who served with other Turkmens in the court of the Ayyubid sultan as-Salih Ayyub and therefore was known among the Bahri Mamluks as Aybak al-Turkmani.
Apr 6, 2024 · Aybak (died April 10, 1257) was the first Mamlūk sultan of Egypt (1250–57) in the Turkish, or Baḥrī, line. Upon the death of al-Ṣaliḥ, the last great sultan of the Ayyūbid dynasty, his son succeeded him but offended his father’s slave guards, or Mamlūks, who killed him (April 30, 1250).
