Abstract
Al-Malik al-Nasir Muhammad Ibn Qalawun was the sultan of Egypt and Syria for much of the period 1293 to 1341. Ascending to the throne as a young boy, al-Nasir Muhammad, the son of the charismatic Sultan al-Mansur Qalawun (r. 1269–90), began his rule shakily. His reign would conclude, however, as one of the longest and most successful incumbencies in the region’s history. This biographical essay, which focuses on the transformative interaction between politics and culture in the fourteenth century, will reveal who this sultan was, and why public services, ceremonial banquets, and widespread patronage were eulogized as key characteristics of his long and successful rule.
