Saladin, Arabic in full Salah Ad-Din Yusuf Ibn Ayyub ("Righteousness of the Faith, Joseph, Son of Job"), also called Al-Malik An-Nasir Salah Ad-Din Yusuf I (b. 1137/38, Tikrit, Mesopotamia--d. March 4, 1193, Damascus), Muslim sultan of Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and Palestine, founder of the Ayyubid dynasty, and the most famous of Muslim heroes. In wars against the Christian crusaders, he achieved final success with the disciplined capture of Jerusalem (Oct. 2, 1187), ending its 88-year occupation by the Franks. The great Christian counterattack of the Third Crusade was then stalemated by his military genius.
