The lengthy Mamluk rule is traditionally divided into two dynasties, the Bahri (from 1250 to 1382 and again in 1389) and the Burji (from 1382 to 1517, with a brief interruption in 1389).
The Bahri line followed a fairly traditional form of family succession, but the Burji rulers came from a most unusual process: the leading amirs selected the rulers from groups of youths that had been imported as slaves from the Caucasus and had received rigorous training as soldiers.
The origin of the dynasty in 1250 AD occurred while Saint Louis (King Louis IX of France) was being held for ransom after his ill-fated landing on the Egyptian coast during the 6th Crusade.
