نور الدين محمود بن زنكي
نور الدين محمود بن زنكي
Lord of Aleppo then Syria; he relieved Damascus from the Frankish siege in 543 with his brother Ghazi and kept retaking what they held — never slackening in jihad. He took Damascus in Safar 549, and al-Muqtafi deeded him Egypt as 'al-Malik al-Adil {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 673-675}.
