In it is the life of… the fierce lion!!! Sultan King Al-Zahir… Baybars!!! The hero who snatched victory from the jaws of a hundred and fifty thousand French soldiers led by King Louis IX at the Battle of Mansurah!!! The hero who vanquished the Tatars… and crushed the Crusaders… at the same time!!! The Mamluk who became a king… and when he took the throne, kings submitted to him!!! Poets praised him, saying: “O you to whom the Tatars are driven as spoils, like sheep! May you ever remain, O king of the age, with kings among your servants!” And they said: “How many envoys of the Franks and Tatars stand at his door, their only hope forgiveness and pardon!”
