Years: 1396 - 1539

Palestine experiences a "dark age" during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries as a result of Mamluk misrule and the spread of several epidemics.

The Mamluks are slave-soldiers who establish a dynasty that rules Egypt and Syria, which includes Palestine, from 1250 to 1516.

The Ottoman Turks, led by Sultan Selim I, rout the Mamluks in 1516, and Palestine begins four centuries under Ottoman domination.
