Egypt and Syria, Mamluk Burji Sultanate of
The Burji dynasty is a Circassian Mamluk dynasty that rules Egypt from 1382 until 1517, during the Mamluk Sultanate.
It proves especially turbulent, with short-lived sultans.
Political power-plays often become important in designating a new sultan.
During this time Mamluks fight Timur Lenk and conquer Cyprus.
Constant bickering may have contributed to the ability of the Ottomans to challenge them.
Their name means 'of the tower', referring to them ruling from the Citadel east of Cairo.
