Kujuk

AlAshraf Alaa adDin Kujuk ibn Muhammad ibn Qalawun , better known as alAshraf Kujuk , was the Mamluk sultan from August 1341 to January 1342. He was a young child on the throne, and real power was held by his regent Emir Qawsun, a senior aid to Kujuks father Sultan anNasir Muhammad . When Qawsun was ousted in a mamluk revolt in late December 1341, Kujuk was deposed in the weeks after. Kujuk was later murdered at the age of nine as a result of the political intrigues in the sultanate.

Kujuk was born in 1336 to father Sultan anNasir Muhammad and his Tatar wife Ardu. In August 1341, Kujuk, then five or six, was installed as sultan by the strongman of Egypt, Emir Qawsun, who served as his regent and in effect, held the reins of power. Kujuk was appointed following Qawsuns arrest and execution of Sultan alMansur Abu Bakr, Kujuks elder halfbrother and predecessor. Kujuk was removed from the throne onJanuary 1342 and replaced by his elder halfbrother anNasir Ahmad after Qawsun was ousted and killed in a mamluk revolt.
