al-Mansur ʿAli II succeeded his father, al-Ashraf Shaʿban, as a child in 1377. Effective power rested with senior Mamluk commanders, among whom Barquq became increasingly influential. His reign belongs to the final years of Qalawunid rule, when descendants of earlier sultans retained the throne while military leaders controlled much of the government.
