Cavalry Units

Mamelukes (Algeria)

In the early 13th century, the sultan's personal guard, known as the Mamelukes, was put together from Turkish and Caucasian slaves in Egypt. In 1250 they overthrew the ruling Ejubide dynasty and enthroned their own. Mamelukes became a feudal military caste that ruled the country. They retained their position even after the Turks captured Egypt in the early 16th century. The best of the Arabian horsemen, they were brought up in a martial atmosphere from their very childhood and were trained to ride and wield all kinds of weapons.
