With Emir [[Sayf al-Din Salar]] he dominated the young Sultan [[Al-Nasir Muhammad]] who, feeling distressed, moved to [[Al Karak]] and resigned in 1309. Baibars al-Jashnakir became a Sultan after the position was imposed on him by Emir Sayf al-Din Salar and the [[Burji dynasty|Burji Mamluks]].

The brief period of his reign (ten months and 24 days) was marked by economical and political unrest in addition to threats from [[Crusaders]] and [[Mongols]]. The [[Crusaders]] who had allied with the [[Mongol Empire]] continued to harass [[Mamluk Sultanate|Mamluk]] outposts in the [[Levant]]. The poverty-stricken commons kept rampaging the streets of [[Cairo]], calling him ''Rakin'' (useless) instead of ''Rukn'' (principal) demanding the return of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad to [[Egypt]]. In 1310 Baibars al-Jashnakir stepped down and fled with his Mamluks from the angry mob. Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad returned to Egypt and Baibars al-Jashnakir was arrested and executed on his orders.
