Mohammed V, Emir of Granada

  1. Ruled from 1354-1359 and later from 1362-1391. 
  2. Sent three galleys to join Pedro of Castile's fleet in the war against Aragon, June 1359. [Pedro, ch.24: 20]
  3. Mohammed V was ousted by his half-brother Ismail II in August 1359, but the latter only ruled till 1360 when, in his turn, he was overthrown by his  brother-in-law Mohammed VI. 
  4. The Nasrid dynasty of emirs was not free from rivalries, although Granada was ruled by twenty-three emirs from 1232 to 1492, when they surrendered to the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella.
  5. Fernão Lopes states that Mohammed VI overthrew Mohammed V, but that must be on account of the very short reign of Ismail II, who only ruled a few months after ousting Mohammed V in August 1359.
  6. Sent 600 horsemen to assist Pedro of Castile in the war against Aragon. [Pedro, ch. 36: 49-50]
  7. Agreed ties of friendship with Enrique II of Castile, still during the life of Pedro I (1366). [Pedro, ch. 41: 37-38]
