Biography

Following Sultan Barsbay's death in 1438, his fifteen-year-old son Yusuf inherited the throne. However, Jaqmaq who was his guardian orchestrated a scheme to remove him from power and seized the sultanate for himself.^[3] Yusuf who reigned for 94 days was imprisoned in Cairo then in Alexandria, where, according to Ibn Taghribirdi, he spent the rest of his life studying under quite pleasant circumstances.^[4]
