al-Mansur Abd al-Aziz
Al-Mansur Abd al-Aziz ibn Barquq ( Arabic المنصور عبد العزيز بن برقوق, DMG al-Manṣūr ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Barqūq ) was Sultan of the Mamluks in Egypt in 1405.
When Sultan Faraj fight the Mongols Timur Lenk's failed and thus forfeited his credibility as a defender of the realm, conspiracies were plotted against him, and under the Mamluks broke armed unrest. On September 20, 1405, Sultan Faraj suddenly disappeared and no one knew where he was. Therefore, the next day the emirs put his not yet adult brother Abd al-Aziz on the throne. But on November 28th, just two months later, Faraj, who had been hiding in Cairo, reappeared and was brought back to power by Emir Yashbak, one of the most powerful men in the empire.
