Biography
Al-Muzaffar Ahmad became sultan at 18 months old upon his father's death on January 13, 1421. Emir Sayf al-Din Tatar swiftly consolidated power and eventually dethroned the young sultan on August 29, 1421, marrying his mother, Princess Sa'adat, before divorcing her. Al-Muzaffar Ahmad and his brother Ibrahim were imprisoned in Alexandria, where they both died of the plague. They were initially buried in Alexandria but later moved to Cairo's tomb complex of their father.[3]
