az-Zahir Bilbay
Az-Zahir Bilbay ( Arabic الظاهر سيف الدين بلباي, DMG aẓ-Ẓāhir Saif ad-Dīn Bilbāy ) was Sultan of the Mamluks in Egypt in 1467.
Chushqadam's son az-Zahir Bilbay, known as al-Magnun ("the madman"), was - as was the tradition in the Mamluk Sultanate - removed from office after a few months to give place to an older Albanian named az-Zahir Timurbugha as sultan do.
