Years: 1176 - 1176
Another major confrontation occurs between the Zengids and the Ayyubids in the spring of 1176, his time at the Sultan's Mound, fifteen kilometers (9.3 miles) from Aleppo.
Saladin again emerges victorious, but Saif al-Din manages to narrowly escape.
The Ayyubids proceed to take other Syrian cities in the north, namely Ma'arat al-Numan, A'zaz, Buza'a, and Manbij, but fail to capture Aleppo after a second siege.
An agreement is laid out, however, whereby Gumushtigin, the governor of Aleppo, and his Muslim allies at Hisn Kayfa and Mardin will recognize Saladin as the sovereign of his dominions in Syria while Saladin allows for Gumushtigin and as-Salih al-Malik to continue their rule of Aleppo.
