2 May, 1250, Fariskur ) was the Sultan of Egypt for a brief period.
Biography
He was the son and heir of the
Ayyubid sultan of
Egypt As-Salih Ayyub who died during the
Seventh Crusade led by the French King
Louis IX against Egypt in 1249.
Shajar al-Durr, wife of the dead sultan concealed the news of the sultan’s death and recalled Turanshah from
Hasankeyf to receive the throne of Egypt and lead the army against the invading crusaders. Turanshah arrived in Egypt and led the Egyptian army but after the
Battle of Fariskur he started to replace his father’s staff with his own, and showed hostility toward Shajar al-Durr and the
Bahri Mamluks who served his father and played a crucial role in defeating the Frankish forces during the
Battle of Al Mansurah. The actions of Turanshah led to his murder by the Mamlukes and Shajar al-Durr became the Sultana of Egypt.
With the death of Turanshah, the 8th sultan of the Ayyubid dynasty, the reign of the Ayyubids in Egypt ended forever.
