An-Nasir Faraj dating history

Details

Al-Nasir Faraj or Nasir-ad-Din Faraj (Arabic: الناصر زين الدين فرج; 1386 – 23 May 1412), also Faraj ibn Barquq, was the sultan of the Circassian Burji dynasty of the Mamluk Sultanate from 1399 to 1412 with the title Al-Nasir. He was only 13 years old when he became the sultan on the sudden death of his father Sayf-ad-Din Barquq. His reign was marked by anarchy, pandemonium and chaos with the Timur's invasions, including the sack of Aleppo and Damascus in 1400, incessant rebellions in Cairo, endless conflicts with the Emirs of Syria (with the Sultan and also amongst themselves), along with plague and famine which reduced the population of the kingdom to one-third.
