- Get to know the story of Shajar Al-Durr, who was born enslaved and rose to become the ruler of Egypt.
--
The year is 1249 CE. King Louis IX is sailing the Nile, threatening to overthrow the sultan and capture Egypt. Egypt’s commanders ask the sultan’s wife, Shajar Al-Durr, to report this news to the injured sultan. But they don’t know the truth: the sultan is dead, and she is secretly ruling in his stead. Who was this impressive woman? Abdallah Ewis details the reign of the Sultana of Egypt.
Lesson by Abdallah Ewis, directed by Elahe Baloochi.

She's not all forgotten, at least not in Egypt. Her story is taught extensively in school and I remember the school book was about 300 pages all about her
Maybe forgotten to foreigners.

Arabic is a very hard language especially for native English speakers
Which makes her ability to say these Arabic words very well more impressive

The rejected wife seems to have had more reason to team up with Shajar Al-Durr than to have killed her. Interesting dynamics and very sad.
Women always compete with each other when they should support one another. Its sad.
@@NA-vh1ny society teaches them to be like this tbh its a competition of "who can be more favourable to men"
I am guessing she didn't know why her husband was killed. We have a movie - which wasn't accurate on a lot of levels - that claimed the husband promised his wife he would marry her again after becoming king.
So from the wife pov it makes sense why she would hate Shajar Al-Durr.
@@coconutdimples6509 Sounds like both were corrupted by the system.
@@NA-vh1ny Men do that too. Competition is just human nature and people generally don't think in these terms.

Oh yes! Her story is taught in Egypt in full detail, as well as As-Salih. Her story is actually very interesting and fascinating. It was probably the best story taught in school throughout my school years.
I am Egyptian and i want to salute the speaker for the perfect pronunciation.
Something very common throughout history is even though thrones went almost exclusively to boys there was always a lot of women who managed to take the throne to rule anyway. Often ruling through a puppet king which would be their husband or son.
I was low-key obsessed with ancient Egypt as a kid, but I'd never heard of Shajar Al-Durr until I'd first stumbled across this video. The things you miss going to American public school.
this is a little after ancient egypt, after the arab conquest
@@angelinad777 Yeah, we never got that far into the country's history. Heck, we didn't focus on our *own* history beyond key events.
I learned this in my high school AP World History class (over 10 years ago in California). Try applying yourself a little more in your classes and the world’s knowledge will slowly open up for you!
I don't know anything about Arabic but her pronunciation seems very accurate.
As a native speaker, it really is very good indeed.

multiple articles and so many historians have said this. she did face louis im sorry to say for you lol
فرصة سعيدة
@@aquafinner1505 He just wants to see it as a simplistic GOOD V BAD story, and since she did kill the family Um Ali loved and then Um Ali took revenge, it basically means that Um Ali is the "good" making shagrat el durr the villain.
We all know from studying this story in Arabic though that she did manage ALOT of good in her time, and simply put, no one is innocent in politics.
She was as bad as any politician, but she also had a ton of good done for Egypt and it's people
Egypt has always intrigued me trying to plan a documentary in Egypt around the Egyptian empire.
Which empire? The Arab caliphate depicted in this story (and the current modern Egypt) has no connection to Ancient Egypt.
@@AngryKittens y’all hoteps need to rest Egyptians are the only people that have a shred of connection to their country’s ancient history whether modern or ancient
@@Masregypt6203 nah modern Muslims have no connection to ancient Egyptian civilization
@@Masregypt6203 The Copts maybe. They still speak and write a language directly descended from Ancient Egyptian. And even that's tenuous.
The rest of Modern Egyptians, no. They are Arabs, descendants of the Rashidun Caliphate which invaded Egypt in the mid-AD 600s. They speak Arabic. They have retained ZERO Ancient Egyptian culture. The Caliphates were even the ones which defaced Egyptian buildings and monuments (because idolatry was forbidden).
Have you ever been to Egypt? Notice how almost all the exposed statues and hieroglyphics have their faces removed? Yes. Including the Great Sphinx. Ancient Egyptians did not do that (aside from a few attempts at historical erasures of certain rulers by their successors - e.g. Hatshepsut and Akhenaten). Neither did the Greco-Romans in the Ptolemaic dynasty.
Claiming the heritage of a people you destroyed is ghoulish.

They didn't mention here that she was beaten to death with wooden clogs, which adds to her tragic ending.
She assassinated multiple people, so unsurprising that she met a similar fate.
@@ahmody7500 Tragic would be if she was an innocent and she didn't have blood on her hands. She willingly ordered assassinations so unsurprisingly met the same fate herself. There is nothing tragic about that. Its politics.

That is a beautiful name, - tree of pearls. She is life, she is beauty, she is the Queen.
Salih gave his wife the epithet 'Shajar ad-durr'. Nobody knows what her real name was. But indeed, Tree of Pearls is a beautiful name. It's also possible that Salih had another maid named Marjaana, which also means 'little pearl'. رحم الله الصالح أيوب!
The fact the wife that got divorced was more mad at the queen that was forced to marry her husband who then later on tried to cheat on her as well kills her instead shows priorities were very lacking back in the day
Those were the actions of one person though. We can’t use one person to represent everyone’s thoughts and actions. Also, I’m sure that misdirected aggression is still present in our time
Maybe she was madly in love
Muslim men are highly insecure
@@williamcunninghammorrison3894 lmfao dude
@@Lunacrois And yet we have handful of stories that end with "And the ex wife did this to her due to husband snatching"
As a man who has an Egyptian father and a British mother, I feel saddened and proud in the four and a half minutes of watching this... Saddened at the prospect of slavery (however common it once was) but also proud that a lady, who wasn't of noble blood managed to clutch victory from the jaws of defeat and ensure stability for the country. To achieve all that she did in eight months is extraordinary!
Many often say that Cleopatra VII Philopator was not only the last Ptolemaic queen (who also was predominately Greek) but the last queen of Egypt. I think Shajar Al-Durr should be considered the last sole queen of Egypt.
My parents are both Egyptian!
@@janaelgendy1029 Cool! I've gotta be honest and say that I love the fact that I'm a mixed-raced man, my skintone is naturally like caramel (lighter than most Egyptians but looks more like Italian, olive skin) but my features are typically Egyptian.
Were you born in Egypt? Do you live there now? My father was originally from Edfu (near Aswan) but moved to Cairo then London lol
@@LegendaryMercenary. oh I wasn't born in Egypt and I don't even live there, I was born and I live in the UAE.Also both my parents are from the city Monufiya but they are from different towns/villages. And my mom has a really light skin colour and my dad has a kinda dark one, which makes me have my mom's skin but a little darker.
@@janaelgendy1029 I totally understand what you mean, I think with my mum being of Celtic and Norse ancestry (Yeah, I know, I am quite the mixture being of Celtic, Viking & Egyptian ancestry) my skin tone is quite light as well hence why I have olive skin and am nowhere near as dark as my father. What's it like in the United Arab Emirates? I'm guessing it is completely different than Egypt, I know living in England is probably the total opposite to Egypt and comes with its own set of challenges :D
@@LegendaryMercenary. Well UAE is always hot and it barely even rains!it also has never ever snowed here.And it's really cool how it got turned from a desert into a beautiful country...And there are lots of different cultures and religions here, most of them are Philipino and/or Indian. But can I ask, How is England like?Did you ever meet the royal family?
Reminds me of a quote I love;
“Well-behaved women seldom make history.” Absolutely love it!
This story reminded me of Mary Queen of Scotts. Both queens had to struggle to keep their crown, killed a husband and were later killed because of that. Funny how history repeats itself.
And Mary lost her head. Elizabeth won and ushered a golden age while Mary is reduced to being a footnote in history. Pretty much what happened here. History is written by the victorious and she lost this game.
@@rumblefish9 yet her son King James I and VI was the one who finally ruled over a united England and Scotland!
@@pooydragon5398 He merely had Mary's blood, but he became Elizabeth's legacy. That's Elizabeth's true victory.
Mary was mostly killed for being involved in plots against Elizabeth. As for killing Darnley, we will never truly know but she did marry the prime suspect in his murder which was what sealed her overthrow.
My first guess after reading the title was Hatshepsut .....still it is very interesting to know about more such people
Well…. I learnt something new today and this took a dark turn of events
I agree, I did not see that coming
Sad ending for her
@@ilovenycsomuch well i mean.. happy ending for Egyptians with a sweet tooth haha: the details they missed idk why: she killed Aybak and so Um Ali killed her in revenge (so its fair tbh,she loved him) now get this.. she killed her USING WOODEN FLIP-FLOPS , and then spread a dessert on all Egyptians, it's called Umm Ali and still is known to this day, is very yummy
In India also around this time there was a queen named Razia Sultana who is also Turkic origin thanks for sharing
Oh yeah I remember her...Her father had selected her as sultana and she later got assassinated by her chalisa

We learned about her in history class in high school.
chronic Westo-centricism
@@atlantroppus Not really. After all, there are many egyptian queens who are remembered to this day. Had she won and done the same as Elizabeth and ushered in a golden age, she would have been much more prominent. But instead she was Mary Queen of Scots. History is written by the victorious and her enemies wanted her erased.
@@rumblefish9 Yeah typically Westo-centricism. There are many "Eastern" Queens that achieved as much as your Elisabeth and maybe more. But you do not care about that because they do not represent your self centric culture. Do not worry, much cultures are just like that in terms of behavior. The only different is that as of now, although declining, Anglo-saxon culture is dominant. But when it will go away no one will hear or care about your "Bloody Mary" (that’s not an offense, it’s actually a nickname given to her by historians) .
@@atlantroppus Mary, Queen of Scots is not "Bloody Mary". Bloody Mary is Mary the First of England ( Elizabeth the First's older sister)

Kind of interesting how badly people hold prejudices even though she proved. To be a more than capable rule tactically speaking and practically speaking. Makes you wonder how things would of turned out had she not been killed and allowed to continue to rule.

She was first beaten with sandals to death by servants before thrown off the Cairo citadel. I would like to say that I admire the good Arabic accent and the correct pronunciation of names. probably an Arab narrator?
As an egyptian, my grandma’s hometown is El-Mansoura, and im pleased for a story about my country.
Why is there not a movie about her??
2:32 Fun fact: When French king Louis was captured, his wife queen Margaret of Provance became de facto leader of the remaining French forces in the port city and negotiated the king's ransom. So basically it was two queens negotiating btween France and Egypt.

Im proud saying that I did one of my academic presentations on Shajar Al-Durr, this video was my reference.
I wanna grow up and tell my children the stories in this channel as bed time stories
If you do, please don't miss the most unique parts like they did here. (Atleast according to our schools 80 page long story)
Um Ali who was taking revenge on her, killed her with WOODEN FLIP-FLOPS.
Also after that was done, she celebrated by making the dessert dish called Um Ali and spreading it on Egyptians, very easy recipe dessert

Interesting history about Egypt. I always thought Egypt is all about Pharohs.
Me : "i really need to finish this assignment"
Ted-Ed : **exists**
Me: "nah imma do it tomorrow"
The battle leading to Louis IX's capture was planned by Baibars al-Bunduqdari, a Mamluk sultan though Shajar's considerable contribution was undeniable. Unfortunately, the Mamluks would later aid in Shajar's fall and execution, and Baibars himself outlived Shajar by 20 years. Such is life.
Mansourah (city) has been mentioned in a ted ed lesson 🤩🤩 that's brilliant 😍
Interesting 👍
The name Shajar Al-Durr just sounds so cool, and añso with a beautiful meaning
fun fact the house king louise was kept in as a prisoner (daar ibn luqman) mostly remains the same to this day just like the poem had warned invaders, "daar ibn luqman remains with the shackles and "tawashy sobeeh."." who gaurded the house
