Ala-ud-Din Masud-Shah ruled from 1242 to 1246. He was the grandson of Iltutmish and the son of Rukn-ud-Din Firuz Shah. In practice, the Turkish nobles known as the Forty held all real power, leaving Masud-Shah only the Sultan's title. A new Naib-i-Mamlikat post was revived and given to Malik Qutb-ud-din Hasan, while other top offices also went to members of the Forty. The Wazir, Muhazab-ud-Din, lost his position after clashing with these nobles, and Balban rose to become Amir-Hajib, eventually gathering most authority. Meanwhile, Tughra Khan, the Governor of [[Bengal]], broke away, added Bihar to his domain, and even threatened Avadh. [[Multan]] and Uch also became independent. In 1245, Saif-ud-Din Hasan Qarlagh invaded Multan, but the Mongols arrived soon after, drove him out, and besieged Uch. When Sultan Mahmud advanced to the [[Beas River]], the [[Mongols]] ended the siege and left. Ultimately, [[Balban]], [[Mahmud I of Delhi|Nasir-ud-din Mahmud]], and Nasir-ud-din's mother conspired to overthrow Masud-Shah. By June 1246, Masud-Shah was deposed, and Nasir-ud-din Mahmud took the throne.<ref>{{cite book|last=Mahajan|first=V. D.|title=History of Medieval India|year=2007|publisher=S.
