Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq (reign: 1394 – February 1413 CE), also known as Nasiruddin Mohammad Shah,[1] was the last sultan of the Tughlaq dynasty to rule the Islamic Delhi Sultanate.

History

War of succession with Nusrat Shah

Nasiruddin Mahmud was a son of sultan Nasir ud din Muhammad Shah III, who ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 31 August 1390 to 20 January 1394. Upon his death, his older son Ala ud-din Sikandar Shah became sultan, but he soon died of illness on 8 March 1394, and his younger brother Nasiruddin Mahmud succeeded him. However, the succession was challenged by his relative Nusrat Shah (also known as Nasrat Khan), triggering a war of succession that lasted for three years until 1397. During this time, Nasiruddin Mahmud ruled from the city of Delhi, while Nusrat Shah ruled from Firozabad.[1][2]

Invasion of Timur

During Nasiruddin Mahmud's reign in 1398, Amir Timur the Chagtai ruler invaded India. He carried away with him a large booty from Delhi and the surrounding area. Soon after the invasion, the Tughlaq dynasty came to an end.

Successor

The succeeding sultan of the Delhi Sultanate was Khizr Khan, the first of the Sayyid dynasty.
