Timeline

1301Lakhnauti · BengalFiruz Shah ascended the throne of Lakhnauti in 1301 with the title of independent sultan, succeeding Ruknuddin Kaeqaus. His identity was not that of a 'governor appointed by Alauddin Khalji'; Wikipedia notes his origins are unclear, and he may have been one of the chief officials under Bugra Khan.
1302–1322Bengal · BengalDuring his reign Lakhnauti coinage was issued, and his sons also minted coins in their own names. He died around Khulna in 1322, succeeded by Ghiyasuddin Bahadur and others. The so-called conquest of Bengal by Muhammad Tughluq in 1328 was not verified against an authoritative source for this entry and is therefore not included in the text.
