Al-Adil I (Arabic: العادل, in full al-Malik al-Adil Sayf ad-Din Abu-Bakr Ahmed ibn Najm ad-Din Ayyub, Arabic: الملك العادل سيف الدين أبو بكر بن أيوب, "Ahmed, son of Najm ad-Din Ayyub, father of Bakr, the Just King, Sword of the Faith"; 1145 – 31 August 1218) was the fourth Sultan of Egypt and Syria, and brother of Saladin, who founded both the ...
Al-Adil died in prison eight years later. Contemporary Muslim historians wrote disapprovingly about al-Adil II's "boisterous living and loose morals". [ 1 ] : 308 This is seemingly corroborated by an inlaid brass basin made for him by the master craftsman Ahmad al-Dhaki al-Mawsili which contains a "somewhat risqué" depiction of total nudity ...

Soon, Al-Adil left Acre and headed towards Jaffa, as the truce of 1192 had ended. [2] The city of Jaffa was ruled by Renauld Barlais. The Crusaders, probably out of rashness, marched out of Jaffa and went to meet the Ayyubids.

Al-Kamil was the son of the Kurdish sultan al-Adil ("Saphadin"), a brother of Saladin. Al-Kamil's father was laying siege to the city of Mardin (in modern-day Turkey) in 1199 when he was called away urgently to deal with a security threat in Damascus. Al-Adil left al-Kamil to command the forces around Mardin continuing the siege. [3]
In this way, a second inner ring of defence was provided, as Al-Adil's walls enclosed a slightly larger area. The Ayyubid citadel encloses an uneven rectangular area of 230 by 150 metres (750 by 490 ft). The outer walls, constructed by Al-Adil, were pierced by three gates and originally protected by 14 towers, although only 12 of these remain. [45]
Saladin and his commander, Al-Adil, led the Muslim effort to capture Kerak. [7] The Muslims had sought to take the fortress for several years, but now they stretched its defenses to the breaking point.
The commander Husam al-Din Abu'l-Hayja, as well as Saladin's cousin, Izz al-Din Musik, and brother, al-Adil, were tasked with suppressing the revolt, which was swiftly achieved: Kanz al-Dawla was defeated and killed on 7 September, and by the end of the month, al-Adil was back in Cairo. [70] [71]
