Cavalry Units

Mameluke (Algeria)

Early in the XIII century, the personal sultan's guard called Mamelukes was formed of Turkish and Caucasian slaves in Egypt. In 1250 they overthrew the ruling Ejubide dynasty and enthroned their own one. Mamelukes formed a military feudal caste that ruled over the country. They retained their position even after Turks captured Egypt in the beginning of XVI century. The prime of Arabian riders, they were brought up in martial atmosphere from the very childhood and were trained in riding and wielding all kinds of weapons.
