Overview
The battle
Ibn al-Imad says that the battle was in a place called Marj Dabiq on the fifteenth of Rajab, and that al-Ghawri's army was routed by the stratagem of Khayr Bak, and al-Ghawri disappeared. 2
Afterwards
Selim stayed in Syria for months. Tuman Bay took command of Egypt, and wars took place between him and Selim; then he surrendered himself and was killed at Bab Zuwayla, and with him the Circassian state came to an end. 2
A contemporary's judgement
Jaramard al-Nasiri, a student of al-Suyuti, holds that the trial of the ninth century was the trial of Selim, and thinks it worse than the trials of the Tatars and of Timur, because they did not enter Egypt. 1
