Medina

The Emirate of Medina was a sharifate centred on the holy city in the Hejaz, ruled by the Husaynid Banu Muhanna. In 1337 Wudayy ibn Jammaz governed under the suzerainty of the Mamluk sultans of Egypt.

In the fifteenth century Medina was subordinated to the Sharif of Mecca as vice-sultan of the Hejaz, and a Mamluk garrison was stationed in the city each year. The Banu Muhanna retained power intermittently until the sixteenth century.
