Timeline

  1. 1421–1434Delhi · DelhiHe succeeded his father Khizr Khan in 1421. Unlike his father he used the title sultan; the Sayyid dynasty remained nominally subordinate to Shah Rukh, Timur's successor. During his reign he had to deal with the rise of local regimes after Timur's invasion and resist pressure on Delhi from Jasrat, chieftain of the Khokhar in Punjab.
  2. 1434–1451Delhi · DelhiMubarak Shah was assassinated in 1434 and his nephew Muhammad Shah succeeded him. Sayyid authority waned daily; in 1451 Bahlul Lodi replaced them and the Lodi dynasty was established. Mubarak Shah reigned only this once, with no restoration in 1443–1454.
