The way to Sultanate
is open to each amir that was educated from Mameluke system in Mamluk Turkish
State. This is the characteristic of Mameluke Sultanate structure. When the
conditions are ready, each amir that has power and prestige can be a Sultan by
using his political skills. Hüsameddin Lâçîn, who he was educated in Mamluk
system, he became an amir and when the conditions were available he became
sultan. He, once reached up to the position of provincial regency from amirate,
then to Sultanate regency and finally to Sultanate. He is a Sultan of the
fetret period which started after the assassination of Sultan Eşref Halil
(689-693 / 1290-1293) in the reign of Mamluk. However, unlike his successors,
Lachin has promised that he will not make decisions without consulting the
superiors of the allegiance to him. So what, Hence the hasty attitude of Laçin
towards establishing his own Sultanate, caused him to be the victim of a
political murder in his own position in the palace. In the article while we are
examining Sultan Lachin we are going to discuss an important issue which
brought victory to Mamluks against the Mongols and Crusaders. Namely, how
different races were brought together, educated, served for same ideal; how
they reached up to position of sultanate by their sagacity, courage and talents
and their loyal services.
Memlûk Türk
Devleti’nde Memlûk nizâmından yetişmiş her emîr’e saltanat yolu açık olmuştur.
Askeri, siyasi güç ve nüfuz sahibi her emîr şartlar oluştuğunda politik
maharetini kullanarak saltanat makamına oturmuştur. Memlûk nizamından yetişen
Hüsameddin Lâçîn sırayla emîrlik, eyalet nâibliği, saltanat nâibliği yapmış sonunda
da Sultan olmuştur. O, Sultan Eşref Halil (689-693/1290-1293) suikastı sonrası
başlayan fetret dönemi Sultanlarındandır. Ancak Lâçîn seleflerinden farklı
olarak kendisine biat eden üst düzey emîrlere danışmadan karar almayacağına
dair söz vererek tahta oturmuştur. Ne var ki O, sözünde durmayarak kendi
otoritesinin tesis etme yönündeki hamleleri sarayda üst düzey emîrlerin tertip
ettiği bir suikast ile karşılık bularak öldürülmüştür.
