Biography

an-Nasir Muhammad (r. 1310–1341) and one of his wives, Qutlumalik, the daughter of Emir Tankiz al-Husami of Damascus (r. 1312–1340).^[2] As sultan, Salih often displayed public affection and respect for his mother.^[3] He took his mother and his wives on a trip to Siryaqus (a resort village north of Cairo), along with several emirs and other officials.^[3] There, he held a royal ceremony in honor of his mother in which he laid out her table and served her food that he personally prepared.^[3] He declared her honorary sultan, accorded her regalia and assigned her servants and slave girls to play the role of her emirs.^[3]

In August 1351, Salih was appointed as sultan in place of his half-brother

Safad, Hama and Tripoli were ultimately imprisoned, and Byabugha died while incarcerated in Aleppo later that year.^[5]

Emir Shaykhu fell out with Salih and at the same time conspired with Emir Sirghitmish to oust Emir Taz from power.^[5] In October 1354, the dissident emirs toppled Salih and restored an-Nasir Hasan to power, while sending Taz to Aleppo to serve as that province's na'ib (effectively exiling him).^[5] Salih died in December 1360 at the age of 24.^[1] He was buried in the mausoleum of his paternal grandmother, Umm Salih (wife of Qalawun) in Cairo.^[1] He was survived by his son, Muhammad.^[1]
