The Ayyubids attacked Rukn al-Dīn Mawdūd directly in 1231–1232 in his territories of Hisn Kayfa and Amid.[1] Following the rule of Rukn al-Dīn Mawdūd, the territories of the Hasankeyf branch of the Artuqids were taken over by the Ayyubids. He was imprisoned in Damascus by Al-Kamil, but managed to flee to Hama upon the latter's death in 1238. He apparently died in Hama at the time of the Mongol invasion.[2]
He commissioned the creation of The Book of Charlatans by Al-Jawbari.[3]
