Al-Kamil
Al-Kamil (Arabic: الكامل; full name: al-Malik al-Kamil Naser ad-Din Abu al-Ma'ali Muhammad; c. 1177 – 6 March 1238) was a Kurdish Muslim ruler and the fourth Ayyubid sultan of Egypt. During his tenure as sultan, the Ayyubids defeated the Fifth Crusade. He was known to the Frankish crusaders as Meledin, a name by which he is still referred to in some older western sources. As a result of the Sixth Crusade, he ceded West Jerusalem to the Christians and is known to have met with Saint Francis.
