Internal stability in Egypt under the rule…
1420 CE to 1431 CE
Internal stability in Egypt under the rule of Sultan Barsbay is restored briefly and Mamluk glory resuscitated.
He is responsible for a number of administrative reforms in the Mamluk state, including the consolidation of the sultanate as a military magistrature and securing for Egypt exclusive rights over the Red Sea trade between Yemen and Europe.
However, the increasingly higher taxes demanded to finance such ventures enlarge the Mamluks' financial difficulties.
