Aleppo and other cities related to Damascus in 522. Zenni, thanks to his
struggle against the Crusades and his protection of the Muslim lands
against the Crusades, was compared with Selahaddin. After Zenni’s
death his lands were shared among his sons, the ruler of Damascus,
Nureddin Mahmyt, and the ruler of Mesopotamia and Mosul, Seyfetdin. Both
of his sons at that time were waging war against the Crusaders. Later
the Damascus segment vanished. However, other two segments appeared from
Sincar and Cezire. Sincar came under the control of Eyyubis in 1221
(618). The others came under the control of Lulu, who was the vizier of
the Mosul Zennis. None of them fell to the Moguls.
