وقعة الريدانية وسقوط دولة المماليك
Ridaniyya, 1517 — the Mamluks' execution of Selim's envoy brought the Ottoman army across Sinai; Gaza then Ridaniyya broke Tuman Bay and ended the Circassian sultanate. Selim's defence: 'I came only with the ulema's fatwa — I was bound for jihad against the Rafida and the fujjar until your Ghawri marched into my inherited kingdom'.

أخذ القاهرة (١٥١٧)
After Ridaniyya Selim I entered Egypt; al-Salabi quotes the chronicler Salahsur — companion of Selim and author of the manuscript *Fath-nameh Diyar al-Arab* — that Selim wept long in the Dome of the Rock and prayed for Egypt's opening. He appointed Khayr Bak over Egypt and Janbirdi al-Ghazali over Damascus; at Shadharat, Tuman Bay was hanged at Bab Zuwayla and the Circassian state ended.

وقعة مرج دابق ودخول سليم مصر
In his colophon Suyuti's student Jaramard al-Nasiri names the ninth century's calamity: Selim Shah ibn Uthman — his wars on his brothers and their killing 'the worst of killings, leaving none great or small', his breaking of the lord of the East and killing of Ali Dawlat, then meeting Egypt's host and sultan at Marj Dabiq, killing the sultan and his great amirs, then entering Egypt 'in the swiftest state and shortest time' — a blow, he says, beside which the Tatars' and Timur's calamities seem small, for they never entered Egypt.
