Throughout the history of the Muslim world there have been a number of Mameluk dynasties:

  • The Mameluk dynasty in India ruled from New Delhi between 1211 and 1290
  • The Mameluk dynasty in Baghdad ruled that city and surrounding areas until 1832
  • There were two Egyptian Mameluk dynasties the Bahri dynasty from 1250 to 1382 and the Burgi dynasty from 1382 until 1517. Mameluk rule as a vassal of the Ottoman continued in Egypt until 1811. See also: History of Ottoman Egypt.
