05The influence of the notables late in Isma'il's reign

  • The influence of the notables (a'ayan) grew in Isma'il's last days through their membership of the Council of Deputies (1866).
  • Isma'il welcomed this, in order to use the notables to face the Anglo-French political pressure and to balance the influence of the Turkish–Circassian element.
  • The notables were no longer merely a rural class: many moved to the towns, took part in public life and entered step by step the sphere of direct political work.
