Tulunids

Mamluk dynasty in Egypt and Syria (868–905)

The Tulunid State, also known as the Tulunid Emirate or the State of Banu Tulun, and popularly referred to as the Tulunids (Arabic: الطولونيون) was a Mamluk dynasty of Turkic origin who ruled Egypt on behalf of the Abbasid Caliphate. They were autonomous from 868 until 905, when the Abbasids restored the Tulunid domains to their control. The Tulunid State emerged during a period marked by the growing power of the Turkic military within the Abbasid Caliphate.
