The Ayyubid dynasty (Arabic: الأيوبيون al-Ayyūbīyūn; Kurdish: دووگەلی ئەییووبی Dûgela Eyûbiyan; Turkish: Eyyûbîler) was a Muslim dynasty of Kurdish origin, founded by Saladin and centered in Egypt. The dynasty ruled much of the Middle East during the 12th and 13th centuries CE. Saladin had been the vizier of Fatimid Egypt before he brought an end to Fatimid rule in 1171. In 1174, he proclaimed himself Sultan following the death of the Ayyubids' former master, Zengid sultan Nur al-Din.
