Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq (Persian: ناصر الدین محمود شاه تغلق) (reign: 1394 – February 1413 CE), also known as Nasiruddin Mohammad Shah,[1] was the last sultan of the Tughlaq dynasty to rule the Islamic Delhi Sultanate.
History[edit]
War of succession with Nusrat Shah[edit]
Nasiruddin Mahmud was a son of sultan Nasir ud din Muhammad Shah III, who ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 31 August 1390 to 20 January 1394. Upon his death, his older son Ala ud-din Sikandar Shah became sultan, but he soon died of illness on 8 March 1394, and his younger brother Nasiruddin Mahmud succeeded him. However, the succession was challenged by his relative Nusrat Shah (also known as Nasrat Khan), triggering a war of succession that lasted for three years until 1397. During this time, Nasiruddin Mahmud ruled from the city of Delhi, while Nusrat Shah ruled from Firozabad.[1][2]
Invasion of Timur[edit]
During Nasiruddin Mahmud's reign in 1398, Amir Timur the Chagtai ruler invaded India. He carried away with him a large booty from Delhi and the surrounding area. Soon after the invasion, the Tughlaq dynasty came to an end.
Successor[edit]
The succeeding sultan of the Delhi Sultanate was Khizr Khan, the first of the Sayyid dynasty.
