انقلاب الأمراء على الأشرف شعبان في الحج
c. 1377 CE · 778 AH
In 778 al-Ashraf Sha'ban left for the hajj with the caliph, qadis and amirs; the amirs turned on him, he fled back to Cairo, and when they offered the sultanate to the CALIPH he refused — so they raised al-Ashraf's son Ali al-Mansur and strangled the hidden Sha'ban when caught, in Dhu'l-Qa'da 1.
