Biography

In 1400, Tamerlane invaded Syria. He left at the beginning of the following year after looting and burning Damascus without having done anything to establish regular power. Syria was immediately reoccupied by the Mamluks.^[2]

Emir Chaykh al-Muhammudi, then appointed governor of Damascus, allied himself with Emir Yachbak. Both seriously threatened Sultan An-Nâsir Faraj in Syria but were finally defeated. Chaykh al-Muhammudi loses his government.^[3]

In 1405, a new sedition deposed the sultan, who had to flee and was replaced by his brother Abd al-Azîz who took the title of Al-Mansûr^[4]. Yachbak's party triumphed and Chaykh al-Muhammudi became lieutenant general of the sultanate. The reign of Abd al-Azîz is very short, seventy days later, An-Nâsir Faraj resumes his throne^[5].
