Abstract
Khair Bey ruled as the Ottoman viceroy (wali) until his death in 1522. The viceroy, or governor of the province, was frequently given the rank of pasha – although Khair Bey was not – from then on all governors are referred to as pashas, while the mamluks are collectively referred to as the beys or amirs. Within two years of Khair's death a revolt broke out and the new Ottoman sultan, Sulaiman the Lawgiver, as he was known to his own people, or the Magnificent, as he was known to the Western world, sent his grand vizier to suppress the revolt and to establish a form of administration that was spelled out in an edict, the qanunname. With minor modifications, that system of government remained in practice in Egypt until the eighteenth century.
