Overview
Al-Malik al-Zahir Qansuh, sultan of Egypt after the killing of al-Malik al-Nasir Muhammad b. Qaytbay. 1
His deposition
Janbalat came from the governorship of Syria in his days; he gave him the grand emirate and married him to his sister, while al-'Adil Tumanbay sowed strife between him and al-Zahir until they fell out — Janbalat prevailed, and he left the Cairo citadel to him in 905. 1
