Amir Sayf al-Din Taz

Who they were

Taz al-Nasiri rose through the Mamluk military hierarchy to become a senior court officer, known as Amir Majlis. Cairo Governorate identifies him as the patron of the palace on Seyoufia Street and connects its construction with his marriage into the sultan’s family. His residence belongs to the world of powerful Mamluk emirs: a court officer’s household should not be confused with the sovereign’s own palace.
