title="reigned">r.</abbr> 1240–1249</span>), usurping power from his successor in 1250. The Mamluks under Sultan <a href="/wiki/Qutuz" title="Qutuz">Qutuz</a> and <a href="/wiki/Baybars" title="Baybars">Baybars</a> <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Ain_Jalut" title="Battle of Ain Jalut">routed</a> the <a href="/wiki/Mongol_Empire" title="Mongol Empire">Mongols</a> in 1260, halting their southward expansion. They then conquered or gained suzerainty over the Ayyubids' Syrian principalities. By the end of the 13th century, through the efforts of sultans Baybars, <a href="/wiki/Qalawun" title="Qalawun">Qalawun</a> (<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><abbr title="reigned">r.</abbr> 1279–1290</span>) and <a href="/wiki/Al-Ashraf_Khalil" title="Al-Ashraf Khalil">al-Ashraf Khalil</a> (<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><abbr title="reigned">r.</abbr> 1290–1293</span>), they conquered the <a href="/wiki/Crusader_states" title="Crusader states">Crusader states</a>, expanded into <a href="/wiki/Makuria" title="Makuria">Makuria</a> (<a href="/wiki/Nubia" title="Nubia">Nubia</a>), <a href="/wiki/Cyrenaica" title="Cyrenaica">Cyrenaica</a>, the Hejaz, and southern <a href="/wiki/Anatolia" title="Anatolia">Anatolia</a>.

Mamluk authority across the empire eroded under his successors due to foreign invasions, tribal rebellions, and natural disasters, and the state entered into a long period of financial distress. Under Sultan <a href="/wiki/Barsbay" title="Barsbay">Barsbay</a> major efforts were taken to replenish the treasury, particularly monopolization of trade with Europe and tax expeditions into the
