Mamluk
(Redirected from Mamluks)
Mamluks (or Mameluks) (the Arabic word usually translates as \"owned\") comprised slave soldiers used by the Muslim Caliphs and the Ottoman Empire, and who on more than one occasion seized power for themselves.
The first Mameluks worked for Abbasid caliphs in 9th-century Baghdad. The Abbasids recruited them from enslaved non-Muslim families captured in areas including modern Turkey and Eastern Europe. After conversion to Islam they trained as cavalry soldiers. Sultans kept them as an outsider force, under their direct command, to use in the event of local tribal frictions. Status remained non-hereditary at first but apparently many Mameluks rose to high positions, including commanderships.
