Al-Ashraf Sayf-ad-Din Barsbay was the ninth Burji Mamluk sultan of Egypt from AD 1422 to 1438. He was Circassian by birth and a former slave of the first Burji Sultan, Barquq. He was responsible for a number of administrative reforms in the Mamluk state, including the consolidation of the sultanate as a military magistrature and securing for Egypt exclusive rights over the Red Sea trade between Yemen and Europe.〔Garcin, 293-94.〕 His Red Sea activity included the final destruction in 1426 of ‘Aydhab, a once important port which had been in decline in the previous century. In 1426-1427 he reconquered Cyprus. In 1430 Egypt was severely struck by famine and plague. His mausoleum, which included a madrasa and khanqah, was built in Cairo's Northern Cemetery, and has survived to this day.〔Behrens-Abouseif, 140-42.〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barsbay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
