وقعة عين جالوت وهزيمة التتار
وقعة عين جالوت وهزيمة التتار
c. 3 September 1260 CE · 15 Ramadan 658 AH
In 658 the Tatars crossed the Euphrates, put Aleppo to the sword and reached Damascus; the Egyptians marched that Sha'ban, al-Muzaffar leading with Rukn al-Din Baybars al-Bunduqdari his shalish — they met the Tatars at Ayn Jalut on Friday 15 Ramadan and routed them utterly, the first great breaking of their tide. The rejoicing flew to Damascus; Baybars drove them beyond Aleppo — promised the city, then refused it — the germ of their falling-out 1.

Overview
After the battle
al-Muzaffar entered Damascus, and Baybars pursued the Tatars into the lands of Aleppo. The sultan promised him Aleppo and then went back on it, and according to al-Suyuti this was the beginning of estrangement between them. 1
Ibn al-Imad's account
He reports that the Christians rose up in Damascus and raised the cross, and that the Tatar commander Katbugha was killed in the battle west of Baysan. Plunder and killing of Christians in Damascus followed. 2
