One of the gravest problems that the political system in the
Mamluki period experienced was the that related to power where
there was not a well-set principle for being in power. For example,
power and reign were a thorny fluctuating subject which
gets
finally settled in behalf of the most powerful Mamluki person. The
case concerning the accidence to (inheriting) the throne in the
Mamluki age was a temporary issue - despite the fact that it was
often in the hands of the Qlawoon Family – that brings to the
throne a powerful sultan who lays his hands on the throne and
becomes the declared sultan. This, consequently, used to lead to
an overheated struggle between Mamluki princes.
