Muiz ud din Bahram
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muiz ud din Bahram (1236) was an Islamic ruler and the sixth Sultan of Delhi of medieval India during the Slave Dynasty (or Mameluk dynasty). He was the son of Shams ud din Iltutmish (1211-1236) and brother of Razia Sultan (1236-1240). While his sister was in Bathinda, he declared himself king with the support of forty chiefs. His sister tried to regain the throne with the aid of her husband Altunia, a chief of Bathinda, though they were eventually arrested and executed. Even so, during Muiz ud din Bahram's two years as king, the chiefs that had originally supported him became disordered and constantly bickered among each other. It was during this period of unrest that he was murdered by his own army in 1242. After his death he was succeeded by Ala ud din Masud, a son of Rukn ud din Firuz.
