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.
