Portrait of Burhan Nizam Shah II.
Burhan Nizam Shah's rule was short, as he was a weak and incapable monarch. He was addicted to women and wine, which ultimately led to his fall.
His death in 1595 was followed by a civil war over who should rule. He was eventually succeeded in actual power by his sister Chand Sultan, who ruled in the name of his infant son.

gollark: Oh, for making air not free I figure there's a simpler way than removing half the oxygen. Just introduce large amounts of some bad poison.
gollark: That's *probably* easier than somehow drilling to the mantle/core and then reacting the iron there with oxygen.
gollark: The problem is that either way you need a lot of stuff to react all the oxygen with, or to send it off into space somehow.
