## Bio

Born in February 1118 into the Zengid dynasty, Nur ad-Din inherited the Syrian province of the Seljuk Empire in 1146 and spent the next twenty-eight years consolidating fragmented Muslim territories. His reign coincided with the Second Crusade, and he became the architect of organized resistance in Bilad al-Sham. The honorific "al-Malik al-Adil" - the Just King - stuck to him through campaigns that reframed the regional balance. He died on 15 May 1174, having built the structure that his successors, including Saladin, would inherit and expand.
