Overview
Abu Abdallah Muhammad ibn Yusuf ibn Nasr, known as Muhammad V, sultan of Granada of the Banu al-Ahmar. He succeeded his father Abu al-Hajjaj Yusuf, was then deposed and went to Fez, and regained his rule in 763 AH. 1
Deposition and return
Ibn Khaldun relates that he was proclaimed after his father's death, but his master Ridwan kept him under restraint and ruled despotically until he was deposed. He fled to Fez in the lands of the Banu Marin, and was tested among them. Then he regained his kingdom in 763 AH. 1
After his return
The source says that al-Andalus submitted to him, until he came to be known as the lord of the Alhambra, and that he was the greatest of the Banu al-Ahmar in building and kingdom. This is Ibn Khaldun's judgement. 1
