Sitti Sawda

Sitti Sawda or Sawda bint al-Faqih (died 1242), was the wife of sultan Al-Kamil of Egypt (r. 1218–1238). She was the mother of sultan Al-Adil II (r. 1238–1240) and stepmother of sultan As-Salih Ayyub (r. 1240–1249). She was famously politically influential, and is one of few freeborn wives to have played any significant role in the Ayyubid dynasty, who normally used slaves for procreation.
