Sufyan

Sufyan b. Yusuf (1812-1880) was the second child and firstborn son of Caliph Yusuf I, and founding ancestor of the Sufyanid cadetage.
Born to Caliph Yusuf's second wife, Sufyan grew up in Cuba, seeing his father only rarely. The tragic death of Abd.Rahman b. Yusuf left Sufyan as Yusuf I's only direct male heir, and Caliph Yusuf summoned him to the Alcazar. They quickly grew to loathe each other.
Sufyan's first marriage, arranged by Yusuf I, was disastrously bad and ended in a divorce after two years. By this point Sufyan was a legal adult under caliphal law, and the most Yusuf could do was profoundly disapprove of his subsequent marriages.

• She was Sufyan's only deaf wife, however.

Despite being deeply at odds with both Yusuf I and his parenting style, Sufyan did make a point of raising
