Kayumars of Delhi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kayumars (1290) was a Muslim Turkic ruler and Sultan of Delhi of medieval India during the waning years of the Mamluk dynasty (or Slave dynasty). He was the son of Muiz ud din Qaiqabad (1286-1290) and was declared ruler at the age of three, once his father had suffered from a paralytic stroke and later murdered by a Khilji chief. However, Kayumars' guardian, Jalal ud din Firuz Khilji, eventually dethroned Kayumars and declared himself king, thus bringing an end to the Mamluk dynasty of Delhi.
