Al-Mutawakkil III

the last caliph of the later, Egyptian-based period of the Abbasid dynasty

1475 CE to 1543 CE

Al-Mutawakkil III (died 1543) was caliph from 1508 to 1516, and again in 1517.

He is the last caliph of the later, Egyptian-based period of the Abbasid dynasty.

Since the Mongol sack of Baghdad and the execution of Caliph Al-Musta'sim in 1258, the Abbasid caliphs have resided in Cairo, nominal rulers used to legitimize the actual rule of the Mamluk sultans.
