ملك الملك الأشرف دمشق من ابن أخيه داود

On Monday, 2 Sha'ban 626 AH, al-Malik al-Ashraf took Damascus from his nephew Dawud ibn al-Mu'azzam, according to Ibn al-Athir. ¹

Dawud had sought help from his uncle al-Ashraf against his other uncle al-Kamil, but then al-Ashraf and al-Kamil made peace. al-Ashraf besieged Damascus until al-Kamil arrived. Dawud was pressed by shortage of money, and sold his wives' jewellery. He then went out to al-Kamil and offered to surrender Damascus, on condition that he keep al-Karak, al-Shawbak, al-Ghawr and Nablus, and that Aybak keep Salkhad. al-Kamil handed the citadel to al-Ashraf, after his brother had taken Harran, al-Ruha, al-Raqqa, Sarudj and Ras al-Ayn. ¹
