Al-Mansur Muhammad (died 1505)

Al-Mansur Muhammad was the penultimate Sultan of the Nasrid dynasty, ruling the Emirate of Granada intermittently between 1492 and 1495. He was the son of Sa'd al-Musta'in.

Following the fall of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the Nasrid dynasty had officially ended with the abdication of Muhammad XII (Boabdil). However, pockets of resistance remained in the Alpujarras mountains. Al-Mansur Muhammad emerged as a leader of these insurgents, seeking to revive the Emirate.

His reign was marked by continued conflict with the Castilian forces. He enjoyed some initial success, exploiting the discontent of the Granadan population under Christian rule. He was briefly installed as Sultan in the Alpujarras, but lacked the resources and widespread support to seriously challenge the consolidation of Castilian power.

His period as a claimant to the throne was brief and tumultuous. He was deposed and replaced by a rival claimant. Information concerning the details of his deposition and the immediate aftermath is limited.

Al-Mansur Muhammad died in 1505. His death signaled the end of any significant organized resistance to Castilian rule in the former Emirate of Granada, effectively solidifying Christian control over the region. His legacy is tied to the final, desperate struggles to maintain Muslim rule in Iberia following the fall of Granada.
