Al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Sayf al-Dīn Abū Saʿīd Khushqadam ibn ʿAbdallāh al-Nāṣirī l-Muʾayyadī (Arabic: الظاهر سيف الدين خشقدم; c. 1404 – 9 October 1467) was a Mamluk sultan of Egypt and Syria from 28 June 1461 to 9 October 1467.[1] He was born in Cairo, Egypt

Family[]

One of Khushqadam's wives was Khawand Shukurbay. She was a Circassian, and had been a manumitted slave of Sultan An-Nasir Faraj.[2] She had been married to Amir Abruk al-Jakami, with whom she had a daughter, Baykhun (died 31 July 1462).[3] After Arbuk's death, she married Khushqadam. Her daughter became known as the Sultan's step-daughter. She was buried in Khushqadam's tomb, and her son Shihab al-Din Ahmad al-Ayni (died 1503) was raised by Khushqadam after his father's death.[4] Shukurbay was said to have been exceptionally strong willed. After her death in 1466, Khushqadam married Khawand Surbay,[2] one of several concubines acquired by him, and with whom he had a daughter.[5]
