After Mahmud's death in 1266, Balban (1266–87) rose to power as Mahmud had no children to be his heir.

But Iltutmish's youngest son was Qutubuddin, who was blinded and killed by [[Shah Turkan]]. Mahmud's mother held the title of Malika-i-Jahan Jalal-ud-Dunya wa ud-Din, but her actual name is not known. She was most probably a concubine of Iltutmish. He was born in the year of 626 Hijri (1229 A.D.), in Delhi's Kasr-Bagh (the Garden Castle), few times after the untimely death of Iltutmish's eldest son and heir-apparent [[Nasiruddin Mahmud (son of Iltutmish)|Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah]] who governed Bengal and Oudh under Iltutmish's sovereignty. Iltutmish, being greatly aggrieved by the sudden loss of his favourite son, bestowed upon the newborn the name and the title previously held by the deceased prince. Infant Mahmud, along with his mother, was sent to the castle of nearby town Luni. He was brought up and received his education there. On May 10,1242, Sultan [[Muiz ud din Bahram]] was dethroned and Amirs and Maliks took the possession of Delhi from him. Mahmud along with his brother Jalal-ud-Din Masud Shah and nephew [[Ala ud din Masud]] was brought to Firuzi castle, the royal residence from the confinement of the white castle by the amirs and [[Ala ud din Masud]] was chosen as the Sultan. Both the brothers remained in confinement until September,1243, when Masud ordered them to be released and conferred upon Mahmud the city of Bharaij and its dependencies. Mahmud left Delhi and went to his fief with his mother.
