Ghiyazuddin Bahamani Sultan


Ghiyazuddin 1397 (April - June)



Ghiyazuddin Succeeded Muhammad II.

Malik Saif ud din Ghuri - Vakil-us-Saltanat. A powerful and able Bahamani minster who served and strengthened the empire since its establishment died very next day after Muhammad II's death.

Taghlachin was the Head of Turkish faction in Bahamani kingdom. It raised after the Death of Muhammad Shah Bahamani -II's death. Taghlachin was aspiring for either the post of 'Governor of Gulbarga' or 'Vakil-us-Saltanat', which fell vacant after the death of Malik Saif uddin Ghuri.

Unfortunately Ghiazudding Was infatuated by the beauty of Taghlachin's daughter. One day Ghiazudding rightly used the situation and blinded Ghiazuddin. Taghlachin raised to the throne Ghiyasiddin's younger half brother, Shamsuddin Daud Shah. Shamsuddin Daud Shah's mother was a maid servant of Taghlachin's mother. With her support Taghlachin became the regent of the kingdom. This degradation of the royal family was not tolerated by the late king's cousins Firuz and Ahmad. Taghlachin was over powered, Shams ud din was deposed and Feruz Khan ascended the throne as sultan Taj-ud-din Firuz Shah on 16 November 1397. Ghiyas-ud-din, the blinded and deposed king, who had been kept in confinement at Sagar, was brought to Gulbarga, and Taghalchin was produced before the monarch whom he had so basely treated. The blind Ghiyas-ud-din with a sword struck at Taghalchin and slew him. 1397 (April - June)
