Yusuf IV of Granada

Yusuf IV (c. 1360s-1432), or Yusuf ibn al-Mawl, was the sixteenth Nasrid ruler of Granada from January to April 1432, during one of the most turbulent periods of Granadan history. A maternal grandson of Muhammad VI, Yusuf IV ousted Muhammad IX and took the throne of Granada with the support of the John II of Castile in return for tribute and vassal status. The tribute and other conditions imposed on Granada were widely unpopular and the emir's support sank quickly. Muhammad IX was soon welcomed back by the populace and quickly overthrew and executed Yusuf.
