Qalāwūn reigned and the military were more deeply involved in the political process than ever. The book consists of three chapters, each of which discusses one major component of this period's political culture: political institutions, political relationships engendering households and networks, and the dynamics of the period's many socio-political conflicts. This book marks an important breakthrough in Mamluk studies, offering both insights into the history of a long-neglected period and new models of analysis that call for wider application in the field of Mamluk socio-political history.The Medieval Mediterranean ;65.Patronage, Conflict and Mamluk Socio-Political Culture, 1341-1382MamelukesHistoryElectronic books.MamelukesHistory.956/.015Steenbergen Jo van1026508NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910458220503321Order Out of Chaos2441447UNINA
