Aṣalbāy

Khawand Aṣalbāy al-Jarkasiyya (died 1509) was a Mamluk consort. She was the concubine of sultan Sayf ad-Din Qa'itbay (r. 1468–1496), mother of sultan An-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qaitbay (r. 1496–1498), sister of sultan Abu Sa'id Qansuh (r. 1498–1500), and wife of sultan Al-Ashraf Janbalat (r. 1500–1501). Life Aṣalbāy was a Circassian and fell victim to the Black Sea slave trade, as did her brother. She was placed in the Burji harem and used as a concubine. She apparently became the favorite concubine of the sultan, and the mother of An-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qaitbay in 1482.

When a conflict occurred between her son and her brother in February 1498, she called both to the Cairo Citadel and asked them to given an oath not to fight against each other. Her wealth was displayed when her dowry was transported in procession through Cairo from her residence to that of her new husband during the wedding.
