In 669/1271, when sultan Baybars was besieging the Frankish castle of Hisn al- Akrad, two Ismaili fidais from Ulayqa were alleged to have joined hands with Bohemond IV of Tripoli to kill sultan Baybars, Thus, Baybars took swift action, and ordered that the stronghold of Ulayqa should be besieged.
Indeed, there are however, some historical reports that sultan Baybars and his successors used to employ the services of the Ismaili fidais against their own enemies, whose benefit was acquired by the Mamluks, and the defamations were put on the Syrian Ismailis.

 Baybars al-Bunduqdari, the First Great Mameluke Ruler of Egypt
Baybars was a fanatically brave soldier who led the vanguard of the Egyptian army against the Tartars (Mongols) in a furious battle at Ayn Jalut (the Pool of Goliath) near Jerusalem on September 3, 1260.
Baybars decided to remedy this situation, and in June of 1261, he brought from Damascus to Cairo an uncle who had escaped the massacre resulting in the murder of the former Caliph.
Baybars made strict laws to cope with the bold behavior of women in Cairo, but Cairo's women have always been irrepressible and they obviously found their own way around the sultan's prudish restrictions, since in 1264, Baybars had to bring in a law forbidding women to wear turbans or men's clothing.
