Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri (c. 1441 – 1516) was the penultimate Mamluk Sultan of the Burji dynasty.
Biography
Sometime during 1511, al-Ghawri met with the Ottoman prince Korkut, though the meeting between the pair was covertly monitored by Ottoman Assassins sent by the Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze. [citation needed]
In 1511 or 1512, al-Ghawri entered into an alliance with the Safavid dynasty of Persia in the midst of a war with the Ottoman Empire. When an Ottoman blockade of Damascus withdrew thanks to the intervention of the Assassins, al-Ghawri's Mamluks allowed Persian forces to move in to fill the vacuum. In the meantime, he plotted with the Safavids to stage a joint attack on the major Ottoman city of Bursa, and he personally hosted the Safavid high command in Damascus.[1]
Lack of conflict between the Mamluks and Safavids around Damascus alerted the Assassins to their alliance, however, and as a result, they sent their spies into the Safavid camp, learning of their plans to assault Bursa. Hoping to prevent this, they assassinated the Safavid generals in Damascus, disrupting their military operations.[1]
Five years later, Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri took part in the Battle of Marj Dabiq, north of Aleppo, where he was ultimately defeated by Selim I's forces and beheaded. [citation needed]
