The winner of that struggle will in effect inherit the strongest Muslim empire in western Syria as well as the duty of defending the western Islamic world from the Frankish Crusaders.Įgypt must defeat Nur ad- Din as soon as possible to avoid fighting both the Crusaders and Nur ad-Din at the same time. It seems inevitable that Salah al-Din will have to face the wrath of his former master in the north sooner or later. Salah al-Din has revitalised Egypt’s military and economy making Egypt the growing power in the Middle East. With its new ruler at the helm, Egypt grows from strength to strength. Originally sent by his master, Nur ad-Din, to govern Egypt in his name, the ambitious Salah al-Din soon set about creating his own powerbase on the Nile. Until recently Egypt had been the centre of the Fatmid Empire, however Egypt’s former rulers grew weak and were eventually deposed by a cunning Kurdish general by the name of Salah al-Din.
