Answer
Qutuz was a Mamluk general who became Sultan of Egypt in 1259. He deposed Sultan Al-Mansur Ali, who had become increasingly unpopular due to his incompetence and mismanagement of the state. Qutuz was able to take advantage of this discontent and seize power with the help of his supporters. He quickly set about restoring order to the country and improving its military strength.
