Note: The Mamluk era refers to a period in the history of Egypt and the Levant spanning roughly from the 13th to the 16th century. The Mamluks were a military caste primarily made up of enslaved soldiers, mainly of Turkic, Circassian, and Caucasian origin, who rose to power and established their own ruling class. The Mamluk Sultanate had two major dynasties: the Bahri dynasty and the Burji dynasty.
The Mamluks had a significant relationship with Syria during their rule over Egypt and the Levant.
