Baibars
al-Malik al-Zahir
Rukn al-Din
Baibars al-Bunduqdari ("al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Rukn al-Dīn Baybars al-Bunduqdārī")
(1223/1228 – 1 July 1277), of Turkic Kipchak origin, commonly known as Baibars ("Baybars")
– nicknamed Abu al-Futuh
(English: "Father of Conquest", referring to his victories)
— was the fourth sultan of Egypt in the Mamluk Bahri dynasty.
He was one of the commanders of the Egyptian forces that inflicted a defeat on the Seventh Crusade of King Louis IX of France.
He also led the vanguard of the Egyptian army at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, which marked the first substantial defeat of the Mongol army and is considered a turning point in history.
The reign of Baibars marked the start of an age of Mamluk dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean and solidified the durability of their military system.
He managed to pave the way for the end of the Crusader presence in the Levant and reinforced the union of Egypt and Syria as the region's pre-eminent Muslim state, able to fend off threats from both Crusaders and Mongols, and even managed to subdue the kingdom of Makuria, which was famous for being unconquerable by previous Muslim empire invasion attempts.
As Sultan, Baibars also engaged in a combination of diplomacy and military action, allowing the Mamluks of Egypt to greatly expand their empire.
Al-Said Barakah
Al-Said Barakah (1260–1280; original name: Muhammed Barakah Qan , royal name:
al-Malik al-Said
Nasir al-Din Barakah  was a Mamluk Sultan who ruled from 1277 to 1279 after the death of his father Baibars.
His mother was a daughter of "Barka Khan", a former Khwarazmian amir.
Barakah was born in Cairo.
His succession went smoothly, and al-Said set about limiting the power of the amirs from his father's administration.
One, his father's viceroy, died under suspicious circumstances.
Others were jailed and then released.
In their place, al-Said promoted his own mamluks.
He also sent Qalawun and Baysari, two of the most powerful amirs, to raid Cilician Armenia and Qal'at al-Rum in 1279, as a way of keeping them busy and away from the seat of power.
Each had 10,000 troops.
Al-Said's plan was to have both of them arrested on their return, but another amir, Kuvenduk, warned them of the plan, and when they returned, al-Said was forced to abdicate.
His seven-year-old brother Sulamish was placed on the throne in his place, under the guardianship of Qalawun, who became the effective sultan.
Exiled to Al Karak fortress, in Jordan, he died there in 1280.
