Nasir ad-Din Mahmud


Nasir al-Din Mahmud was the Zengid Emir of Mosul 1219–1234. He was successor of Nur al-Din Arslan Shah II and was the last Zengid ruler of Mosul. Contemporary historians state that he was killed by the atabeg of Mosul, Badr al-Din Lu'lu', following the death of his maternal grandfather the Emir of Irbil, Muzaffar al-Din Gökböri. Lu'lu' then began to rule Mosul in his own right.
