The upstart Muslim Mamluk Sultanate had been at war with the Christian Kingdom of Makuria to its south since at least 1272 when Makuria attacked the Egyptian town of Aidhab. This came to an end in 1276 when Sultan Baibars fought David of Makuria in a series of battles that ended in Makuria's defeat at their capital of Dongola.
