| '''Ala ud-Din Masud''' (fl. 1242–46) was the seventh sultan of the [[Mamluk dynasty of Delhi|Mamluk dynasty]] (Slave dynasty).
| |
| | |
| He was the son of [[Rukn ud din Firuz|Rukn ud-Din Firuz]] (1236), son of Sultan [[Illtutmish]] and [[Shah Turkan]] and the nephew of [[Razia Sultana|Sultan Raziyyat]] (1236–40). After his predecessor and uncle [[Muiz ud din Bahram|Muiz ud-Din Bahram]] was murdered by the army in 1242 after years of disorder, the chiefs chose for him to become the next ruler. However, he was more of a puppet for the chiefs and did not actually have much power or influence in the government. Instead, he became infamous for his fondness for entertainment and wine. Like his predecessor, he was considered "incompetent and worthless." By 1246, the chiefs became upset with his increasing hunger for more power in the government, and replaced him with his cousin [[Nasiruddin Mahmud (grandson of Iltutmish)|Nasiruddin Mahmud]] (1246–66), grandson of [[Iltutmish]] through his son [[Nasiruddin Mahmud (son of Iltutmish)|Nasiruddin Mahmud]]. The [[Mongols]] plundered [[Lahore]] in 1246.<ref name="sen2">{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |year=2013 |isbn=978-9-38060-734-4 |pages=74–76}}</ref>
