Mamluks

Aybak was assassinated

Tuesday Apr 10, 1257
Cairo, Egypt

Aybak was assassinated on 10 April 1257, possibly on the orders of Shajar al-Durr, who was assassinated a week later. Their deaths left a relative power vacuum in Egypt, with Aybak's teenage son, al-Mansur Ali, as heir to the sultanate.
