The History Movement has been active on a large scale during the Ayyubid era by taking many forms. This study aims to shed light on the features of the trends of history during this era, especially that some of the prominent figures of specialists in Prophetic Traditions and scholars have shown a special interest in the codification of history, where Ibn 'Asaakir, and Ibn Al-Atheer Al-Jazri, Abu Shama Al-Maqdisi are prominent examples. Some scholars, who have held official positions in the Ayyubid State, contributed to the codification of history whether in their works or in the official documents they prepared for certain events like Al-Qadhi Al-Fadhil (virtuous judge), Al-Emad Al-Isfahani, Ibn Shaddad, and Ibn Al-Adim. It is worth mentioning that the subject of history during this era had received the attention of some of the sultans, princes and those in power as well as through a range of scholars. As a result, if we want to talk about the features of historical writing in the Ayyubid period, the subject of this study, we find that historical work appeared in two main types:
