# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Sold into slavery during the Mongol invasions, this Turkic Kipchak rider ended up in the service of Egypt's Ayyubid sultan. By 1250 he was commanding the army that captured King Louis IX of France during the Seventh Crusade. A decade later he led the vanguard at Ain Jalut, shattering the Mongol advance — then orchestrated the assassination of Sultan Qutuz and took the throne himself. As sultan from 1260 to 1277, he systematically dismantled the Crusader states, taking Antioch in 1268, while playing the Mongol Ilkhanate against the Golden Horde to keep both at bay. His 1276 campaign into Nubia forced Makuria into submission. He died in 1277, leaving the Mamluks as the dominant power from Syria to the Nile.
