Overview
Al-Malik al-'Aziz Yusuf b. al-Ashraf Barsbay; he was sworn the sultanate after his father's death in 840, deposed after about three months and kept a prisoner at Alexandria — in Muharram 868 he died there at about forty. His brother al-Shihab Ahmad b. Barsbay died that same year at about twenty-seven — and the parents never seized a single night. 1
