Husam al-Din Lu'lu' al-Hajib, a chamberlain and the commander of the fleet in Egypt in the time of Salah al-Din. Ibn al-Athir describes him as victorious, brave and generous. 1
The fleet off the Hijaz coast
In the year seventy-eight he led the fleet that al-Malik al-Adil sent from Egypt. He caught up with Frankish ships that had raided the Hijaz coast at the shore of al-Jawza'. He landed to fight them, and his horsemen and men fought with some Bedouin horsemen he had taken. According to Ibn al-Athir he was victorious over them, killed most of them and took the rest prisoner. 1
