Biography

Baybugha was a mamluk of Sultan an-Nasir Muhammad.[1] According to historian David Ayalon, Baybugha was one of the few mamluks to have ethnic Rus origins.[2] He is first mentioned by Mamluk-era historians during the reign of an-Nasir Muhammad's son, as-Salih Isma'il.[1] During the reign of the latter's brother and successor, al-Muzaffar Hajji, Baybugha became the amir majlis (lord of the audience),[1] a relatively high-ranking office which was responsible for overseeing the sultan's physicians and oculists.[3] In 1347, he was promoted to na'ib al-saltana (viceroy) of Egypt.[1]

During the reign of Hajji's successor, an-Nasir Hasan, another son of an-Nasir Muhammad, Baybugha, as na'ib al-saltana, was among the four senior emirs who actually ruled the Mamluk state.[4] The other three were Baybugha's brother Manjak al-Yusufi (com), Shaykhu an-Nasiri and Taz an-Nasiri (com), all former mamluks of an-Nasir Muhammad.[4] During his viceroyship, in 1348, Baybugha decreed that the sons of fief holders could inherit the fiefs from their fathers. The decree endeared him to the population.[5] While on Baybugha was making the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca with Taz,[1][6] an-Nasir Hasan attempted to assert his authority over the senior emirs,[6] and had Baybugha arrested. He was imprisoned in al-Karak.[1]

An-Nasir Hasan was overthrown in September 1351 and replaced by his half-brother as-Salih Salih. The latter freed Baybugha and appointed him na'ib (governor) of Aleppo in 1351,[1] replacing Emir Arghun al-Kamili.[7] The following year, Baybugha incited a rebellion by the Mamluk emirs in Syria against the sultan.[7] The latter responded by leading a military expedition against the rebellious emirs, and he succeeded in arresting Baybugha, along with the nuwab (governors) of Safad, Hama and Tripoli.[7] Baybugha was incarcerated in the Aleppo Citadel in 1353,[7] and was executed later that year.[1]

He was married to Shaqra (d. 1389), a daughter of An-Nasir Hasan.[8]
