Daulat Khan Lodhi succeeded Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud, but Khizr Khan, the Governor of Multan, marched against him on behalf of Timur and took possession of Delhi in 1414. Daulat Khan was sent as a prisoner to Hisar Firoza.
KHIZR KHAN (1414-21 AD)
He founded the Sayyid (descendants of the Prophet) dynasty and ruled as a deputy of Timur’s son and successor, Shah Rukh. His reign was marked by utter chaos and disorder. The empire’s territory had shrunken to Delhi and adjoining areas and even these parts were frequently challenged by the Hindu Zamindars of Etawah, Katehar (Rohilkhand) Kannauj, Patiali and Kampilya. He died due to illness in AD 1421. Taj-ul-Mulk was his loyal minister.
MUBARAK SHAH (1421-34 AD)
Mubarak Shah, the son of Khizr Khan, got the Khutba read in his name and assumed the title of Sultan and issued his own coins. Thus, he did not accept the supremacy of any foreign power. He was the most significant ruler of the dynasty. Sultan conferred the title of Khan-i-Khana on Bahlul Lodhi. He subdued the rebellions at Bhatinda and Doab and the revolt by the Khokhar Chief, Jasrat.
However, he fell to a conspiracy by some Muslim and Hindu nobles, when he proceeded to superintend the construction of a newly planned town, called Mubarakabad, on the Jamuna river. He patronised Yahiya bin Ahmed Sirhindi, author of Tarikh-i- Mubarak Shahi.
MOHAMMED SHAH (1434-45 AD)
His reign was characterised by court conspiracy. His real authority extended to mere forty miles around his capital as a result of intriguing nobility.
ALA-UD-DIN ALAM SHAH (1445-51 AD)
Mohammed Shah was succeeded by his son Alam Shah, who had already established his residence at Badaun, resigned his era without operation. The betrayer Hamid Khan was later on asserted with the resignation of Ala-ud-din. The Sayyid dynasty came to an end in 1451 AD and Bahlul Lodhi ushered in the Lodhi dynasty.
