al-Mansur (Ayyubids)
Al-Malik al-Mansur Nasir ad-Din Muhammad ( Arabic المنصور ناصر الدين محمد بن العزيز, DMG al-Manṣūr Nāṣir ad-Dīn Muḥammad b. al-ʿAzīz ; * 1189 ; † after 1216) was a Sultan of Egypt from the Ayyubid dynasty . He was a son of the Sultan al-Aziz Uthman and a grandson of the famous Saladin .
Life
After the death of his father in 1198, nine-year-old al-Mansur succeeded him as Sultan of Egypt. Just two years later he was deposed by his great-uncle Al-Adil Abu Bakr I (Saphadin) and brought to Aleppo . There al-Mansur lived at the court of the Emir az-Zahir Ghazi , who named him his possible heir in 1216 if his own sons should die before him. But it didn't come to that. Nothing more is reported about al-Mansur's further life.
