      abstract = {This article is an investigation of the importance of  family to the early mamluks. I contend that mamluk desires  to connect with their natal families at times countered the  mamluk system itself with its creation of bonds between men  who were not genetically related to one another. In the  present article I begin to address the idea of a “Dynastic  Impulse” in the period 648–89/1250–90. By “Dynastic  Impulse,” I mean the attempts by the first mamluk rulers  and their rivals, especially the initial generation of  “Bahris,” to attach themselves to existing dynastic  families, to create new families, or to do both, in  response to political pressures in the early sultanate.},
