Izz al-Din al-Kawrani (Egyptian Arabic: عز الدين الكَوْراني) was an Egyptian politician and military leader,[1] and one of the leaders of the campaign to invade Makuria (Nubia) in 1287 by order of Sultan Qalawun of Egypt. His campaign achieved a landslide victory, and this victory is one of the reasons for the end of the rule of the Christian Nubian kingdoms in Sudan.
