Al-Mansur Fakhr-ad-Din Uthman

Al-Malik al-Mansur Fakhr ad-Din Uthman ibn Jàqmaq, more simply known as Al-Mansur Uthman (in Arabic الملك المنصور فخر الدين عثمان بن جقمق, al-Malik al-Mansur Fahr ad-Dīn ʿ Uthman ibn Jaqmaq) was Sultan of Cairo's Mamluk Burji dynasty (1453).

At 80 years old, the death of Sultan Jaqmaq allowed his son, Uthman (fathered from a Greek slave) to take the title of Al-Malik al-Mansur Fakhr ad-Din Uthman. At the beginning of his reign, he was whipped by his principal minister. After disputes with Amir on the amount of donations to various groups of Mamelukes that had become a burden, street battles ensued between the groups of Mamelukes. Inal al-Ajrud group and the Mamluks house Barquq occupied Kalat al-Djabal (Fortelesa the Mount). He was nominated as Sultan as the Abbasid Caliph of Cairo and four -kadi the Kudat with the title of al-Malik al-Ashraf al-Din Sayda. Uthman had no support and because of his behavior was deposed.
