Nasiruddin Mahmud (Persian: ناصر الدين محمود, Nāsru 'd-Dīn Maḥmūd) (reigned: 1227–1229) was the Youngest son of Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish and his chief consort Qutub Begum, the daughter of Qutb al-Din Aibak.^[1]^[2] He was the governor of Oudh and later served as the governor of Bengal until his death.

History[edit]

When Ghiyasuddin Iwaj Khalji rebelled against Delhi Sultan Iltutmish, he sent his son Nasiruddin Mahmud along with Alauddin Jani to lead an invasion against Iwaj.^[3] Iwaj was defeated and killed, and Nasiruddin became the governor of Bengal. He received the title Malik ush-Sharq (مٰلك الشّرق Māliku ’sh-Sharq, Arabic: "King of the East") from Sultan Iltutmish.

In 1228, Nasiruddin attacked and killed Raja Prithu, a ruler in Kamarupa (reigned: 1185–1228).^[4] He subsequently attacked Tibet.^{[citation needed]}

After ruling for one and a half years, Nasiruddin died in 1229.^[4]
