    Shams al-Din Sunqur al-Ashqar al-Salihi (Arabic: شمس الدين سنقر الأشقر الصالحي) was the Mamluk viceroy of Damascus in 1279-1280, who attempted to rule Syria independently, in a rebellion against the Egypt-based sultan Qalawun (r. 1279-1290). While the rebellion in Damascus was quashed in 1280, Sunqur ensconced himself in the Sahyun Castle in the coastal mountains of northern Syria. He joined Qalawun in the successful defense of Syria against the Ilkhanid Mongols at the Battle of Homs in 1281. He remained in a state of peaceful relations with the sultan, despite ruling his coastal principality independently. Sunqur was nicknamed al-Ashqar al-Rumi He was a mamluk (slave soldier) of al-Salih Ayyub (r. 1240-1249), the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt, who appointed him to the Bahriyya (adj. 'Bahri'), a mamluk regiment based in Roda Island in the capital Cairo. The Bahri mamluks were part of the large Salihiyya corps, i.e. the mamluks of al-Salih Ayyub. During this period, he became acquainted with another Bahri mamluk of al-Salih Ayyub, the future Mamluk sultan Qalawun. The Ayyubids of Egypt were toppled by their mamluks in 1250, inaugurating the Mamluk state. Sunqur and Qalawun were associates of the powerful deputy of Mamluk sultan Aybak (r. 1250-1257), Faris al-Din Aktay. When the latter was murdered in the Bahri citadel on Aybak's orders in 1254, Sunqur and Qalawun fled the citadel for Ayyubid Syria.
    During their time in Syria, the Bahri exiles became divided, with one faction, including Sunqur, defecting to the Ayyubid emir of al-Karak, al-Mughith Khidr, while the other, led by Baybars, joined the Ayyubid emir of Damascus, al-Nasir Yusuf. The defectors to Khidr were eventually imprisoned by al-Nasir Yusuf, but during the Mongol invasion of Syria, Sunqur was freed by the Mongols, who conquered the Ayyubid principalities there and made Sunqur their honored guest. Baybars, by now having returned to Egypt under the new sultan Qutuz, led the Mamluk victory against the Mongols in Syria at the Battle of Ain Jalut, capturing most of the region in 1260. Six years later, during the Battle of Mari against the Cilician Armenians, Baybars captured Leo II, a son of their king, Hethoum, and used him to ransom Sunqur from the Mongols, who were allies of the Armenians. Sunqur initially reacted with hesitation at the prospect of being released to Baybars, as he feared punishment for his previous defection from him during their service with the Ayyubids.[4] According to the historian Linda Northrup, the effort to release Sunqur was an indication of the high regard Baybars held for him.[5]
    Along with another Bahri mamluk, Badr al-Din al-Baysari, Sunqur became the most devoted loyalist of Baybars, who had acceded as sultan in late 1260, with Sunqur and al-Baysari referred to in the sources as "the two wings" of Baybars.[6] Baybars built a house for Sunqur next to his own in Cairo in 1267. While its location and specific descriptions of its structure do not exist, it contained an iwan, majlis (private reception room) and a type of qa'a (roofed reception area) called a hurmiyya.[7]
    Baybars was succeeded by his son, al-Sa'id Baraka (r. 1277-1279). Sunqur and al-Baysari practically ran the Mamluk state in the immediate aftermath of Baybars's death. Advised by his upstart emirs to assert his sultanic authority, al-Sa'id had them both arrested. This caused major controversy among the mamluks, with higher-ranking emirs confronting the sultan to reverse course. Al-Sa'id soon after freed Sunqur and al-Baysari.[8] Sunqur eventually gained the good graces of al-Sa'id's khushdashiyya, who supported his promotion to the office of viceroy of the sultan.
    During the 13th century, the Nubians lost their total control of the Nile trade routes into Egypt. Aggressive trading peoples from Darfar, Bornu and beyond in the west were forcing their way into Nubia. To the west the developing trans-Saharan trade routes were opening up new sources of gold, ivory and slaves for the rulers of Egypt. All in all, a stable, prosperous Nubia was of less and less consequence to Muslim Egypt. Then in 1260 another coup d’état in Egypt brought the Mamluks to power. They proved to have even more aggressive designs on Nubia. King David’s attempts in 1272 to turn the tables and re-assert Nubian military power led to a series of wars in which the Nubians invariably came off worst. Nubia began to slide into military feudalism. [19] As central royal power declined, local lords established themselves as warrior chiefs, binding their supporters to them in a complex of legal and contractual obligations. Secular feudalism eroded the unifying vision of a Christian kingdom.
