Everything about Muhammed V Sultan Of Granada totally explained

Muhammed V (1338-16 January 1391) was a Nasrid ruler of the Kingdom of Granada in the South-East of the Iberian Peninsula. Eldest son and heir of Yusuf I by his slave Butayna (meaning, possessing a youthful body), Muhammad V was born in 1338. He also had a younger full-blood sister, Ayesha. He ruled between 13541359 and 13621391, and is best known for completing the royal palace of the Alhambra with the Palace of the Lions and the Mexuar, or Cuarto Dorado. He inherited the throne from Yusuf I but was overthrown in 1359 by his half-brother Ismail II and sought protection with the Marinid sultan of Fez, where Muhammed was inspired with fresh examples of architecture. Ismail was overthrown only a year later by his brother-in-law, Abu Said, who ruled as Muhammed VI but was overthrown in turn by Muhammed V, who returned to the throne for another 29 years. His hospital in Granada was completed in 1366. He employed the poet and diplomat Ibn Khaldun in negotiations with Pedro the Cruel. Muhammed V had at least four sons; Yusuf II, Nasr, Muhammad and Sa'd. He was succeeded by his son, Yusuf II.
