Al-Ashraf Abu al-Nasir Janbalat (Arabic: الأشرف أبو النصر جانبلاط; 1455 – 1501) was a Mamluk sultan of Egypt from 30 June 1500 to 25 January 1501.[2] [3]
Abu al-Nasir Janbalat who was about 45 years old raised to the throne after Sultan Qansuh, threatened by a plot, fled in 1500. The chancellor Tuman-bay, who had ruled Syria, overthrew him in 1501. Janbalat tried to resist in the citadel, but was defeated, captured and sent into exile in Alexandria, to be later executed in 1501.
