Al-Malik al-Ashraf Sayf ad-Din Abu an-Nasr Inal al-'Ala'i az-Zahiri an-Nasiri al-Ajrud (better known as Sayf ad-Din Inal also spelled Saif ad-Din Aynal) (1381 – 26 February 1461) was the 13th Burji Mamluk sultan of Egypt, ruling between 1453–1461. ==Early life and career== Sayf ad-Din Inal was born in Cairo in 1381 to a Circassian merchant father.〔〔〔Van Donzel, 1994, p. 170.〕 He was originally bought by trader Ala' ad-Din, who gave him the ''nisbah'' "al-Ala'i."〔 Ala' ad-Din sold Inal to Sultan az-Zahir Barquq, founder of the Burji dynasty, in 1397,〔 hence his second ''nisbah'' "az-Zahiri."〔 Inal undertook military training during his service with Barquq.〔 Following Barquq's death, Sultan an-Nasir Faraj emancipated Inal and enlisted him in his ''khassakiyah'' ("personal retinue").〔〔 Inal thereby acquired the additional ''nisbah'' "an-Nasiri." He gained the nickname "al-Arjud" because of the scantiness of his beard. In 1421 al-Faraj assigned him the rank of ''jamdar'' ("master of the robes.") Under the short-lived sultanate of Ahmad ibn Shaykh in 1421 he was made "''emir'' of ten ()."〔 He was later promoted to the rank of "''emir'' of drums" by Sultan Barsbay in 1422.〔Natho, 2010, p. 214.〕 Inal continued to rise through the military's ranks, distinguishing himself as a commander, according to historian Moshe Sharon. In 1427 Barsbay promoted Inal to "''emir'' of forty."〔 In 1428 he was appointed ''na'ib'' ("governor" or "viceroy") of Gaza.〔 During his term as ''na'ib'', Inal was praised for the "justice" of his rule by Bertrandon de la Brocquière who visited the city in 1432.〔Sharon, 2009, p. 24.〕 Inal had the minaret of the Kateb al-Welaya Mosque restored on 30 July 1432.〔Sharon, 2009, p. 162.〕 Later in 1432, he took part in the Mamluk campaign against the Aq Qoyunlu confederation of Amid (Diyarbakir) alongside Sultan Barsbay.〔〔 As a reward for his efforts in the Amid campaign, in 1433, Barsbay promoted Inal to "''emir'' of one hundred, commander of one thousand" in Cairo.〔 He was also reassigned as ''na'ib'' of Ruha (Edessa), a post which he reluctantly accepted,〔 literally refusing the new assignment in the morning then relenting before the end of the day. Towards the end of Barsbay's rule, in 1437, Inal was appointed ''na'ib'' of Safad.〔 During the sultanate of Jaqmaq, in 1442,〔Raymond, 2000, p. 114.〕 Inal was appointed to the high-ranking post of ''dawadar kabir'' ("grand executive secretary") and became a member of the ruling council. In 1445 Sultan Jaqmaq made him ''atabik al-asakir'' ("commander-in-chief of the armies.")〔 On 2 July 1450 Inal, Jaqmaq and Tamam min Abd al-Raziq, the ''emir al-majlis'' ("Commander of the Council"), were encircled by the ''julban'' on their way to the citadel. The ''julban'' demanded the release of ten ''mamluks'' recently dismissed upon Tanam's orders. Inal managed to appease them, promising the release of the ''mamluk'' prisoners. Before reaching the citadel they came across Zayn ad-Din Yahya, the ''ustadar'' ("major-domo") and a leading figure of the ''julban'', and beat him with their cudgels forcing him to flee. The detained ''mamluks'' were freed the following day.〔 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「Sayf ad-Din Inal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
