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."" 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.
