Mameluke Sultans of Egypt
AD 1252 - 1811

The Sultanate of Egypt was seized from the Ayyubids by the Mameluke slave-soldier Aybak. The Abbasids still held the title of caliph and held court at Cairo, but were puppets of the Mamelukes, who were descended from Turkish tribes who invaded the Middle East in two major waves in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
