Overview
Sayf al-Din Qutuz al-Mu'izzi. Al-Maqrizi says he was the deputy of al-Mu'izz Aybak, managed the affairs of Aybak's son al-Mansur Ali, and then deposed him on Saturday, 14 Dhu al-Qa'da 657 AH. He took the sultanate after that under the title al-Malik al-Muzaffar 3.
Al-Maqrizi says that he met Hulagu's army at Ayn Jalut and defeated it on Friday, 15 Ramadan 658 AH 3.
Al-Suyuti relates that when the Tatars camped at Amid in 657 AH and Ibn al-Adim asked for help, Qutuz gathered the emirs and notables, and Shaykh Izz al-Din ibn Abd al-Salam ruled that fighting them was obligatory, on conditions he set out 4.
Al-Maqrizi says that Baybars al-Bunduqdari killed him near al-Manzila al-Salihiyya on a Saturday in the middle of Dhu al-Qa'da 3. Ibn al-Imad gives the sixteenth of Dhu al-Qa'da for his death, so the two accounts differ on the day 5. See Baybars.
