A Syrian knight and man of letters. He was a member of the Munkiz family, lords of Shaizar Castle near Hama. After serving the Zengids of Mosul and fighting the Crusaders, he lived in Damascus from 1138 and formed friendships with the Crusader knights. In 1144, he moved to Cairo under the Fatimid dynasty, but was caught up in internal conflicts at the palace and returned to Damascus ten years later. In 1162, he accompanied Nur al-Din to the siege of Antioch, and after a period of retirement in Diyar Bakr, he returned to Damascus in 1174 and served Salah al-Din (Saladin).
