Note: The era of the Artuqids of Mardin, during the reign of Najm al-Din Ghazi II, marked a significant period in the history of the Middle East, particularly in the region of Upper Mesopotamia. The Artuqid dynasty emerged as one of the principal powers in the aftermath of the collapse of the Seljuk Empire. Najm al-Din Ghazi II ruled over Mardin, a strategic city located in present-day southeastern Turkey, from approximately 1239 to 1252 AD. During his reign, the Artuqids faced challenges from neighboring powers, including the Mongols, the Ayyubids, and the Crusaders. Despite these challenges, Ghazi II’s reign was characterized by relative stability and prosperity. He managed to maintain the autonomy of Mardin amidst the shifting political landscape of the time. The city of Mardin flourished as a center of culture, trade, and Islamic learning.
