al-Malik al-Aziz Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad

Al-Malik al-'Aziz Ghiyath al-Din Abu'l-Muzaffar Muhammad b. al-Malik al-Zahir Ghazi b. Salah al-Din, lord of Aleppo; he was preferred over his brother al-Salih, though younger, because his mother Safiyya Khatun was daughter of al-Malik al-'Adil b. Ayyub — they advanced him in kingship for his grandfather and uncles' sake, the sons of al-'Adil. He died in Aleppo's citadel, buried within it, and his son al-Malik al-Nasir Salah al-Din Yusuf took his place. ¹
