Al-Ghawri (English spelling)

Japanese: ガウリー（英語表記）al‐Ghawrī

Around 1430 - 1516
Sultan of the last period of the Burji Mamluk dynasty. Of Circassian descent, he reigned from 1501 to 1516. He was also known as Ghūrī. He sent a Mamluk fleet to counter Portuguese advances into the Indian Ocean, but was defeated in the Battle of Diu off the Kathiawar Peninsula in India (1509), losing control of the seas and commercial interests in that area. The advance of Selim I of the Ottoman Empire into the eastern Islamic world led the two dynasties to a fateful confrontation, but he was defeated in the Battle of Marj Dābiq, north of Aleppo, and died in vain.
