{{Main|Ayyubid dynasty}}
[[File:Ayyubid Sultanate 1193 AD.jpg|thumb|Ayyubid empire]]The [[Ayyubid dynasty]] was founded by [[Saladin]] and centered in Egypt. In 1174, Saladin proclaimed himself Sultan and conquered the Near East region. The Ayyubids ruled much of the Middle East during the 12th and 13th centuries, controlling Egypt, Syria, northern Mesopotamia, Hejaz, Yemen, and the North African coast up to the borders of modern-day Tunisia. After Saladin, his sons contested control over the sultanate, but Saladin's brother al-Adil eventually established himself in 1200. In the 1230s, Syria's Ayyubid rulers attempted to win independence from Egypt and remained divided until Egyptian Sultan as-Salih Ayyub restored Ayyubid unity by taking over most of Syria, excluding [[Aleppo]], by 1247. In 1250, the dynasty in the Egyptian region was overthrown by slave regiments. A number of attempts to recover it failed, led by an-Nasir Yusuf of Aleppo. In 1260, the Mongols sacked Aleppo and wrested control of what remained of the Ayyubid territories soon after.<ref>{{cite book|author=Peter Lock|title=The Routledge Companion to the Crusades|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AkCKZ9Hs4-QC&pg=PA180+|date=2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-135-13137-1|page=180}}</ref>
