Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada

Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada

Yusuf I (1318-1354), was the seventh monarch of the Nasrid dynasty of Granada and was in power between 1332 and 1354.

He established peace with Alfonso XI of Castile but once the four years of agreed peace were over, he allied with the Marinid dynasty who had entered the Iberian Peninsula via Gibraltar.

He lost Algeciras in 1344 and Gibraltar in 1349 after having undergone a difficult siege in which Alfonso XI of Castile died due to the plague.

Yusuf I was assassinated whilst praying in a mosque in Granada.
