Shihabuddin Bayazid Shah
Shihabuddin Bayazid Shah (reigned 1413–1414) was an Ilyas dynasty Sultan of Bengal for a brief period. He succeeded his father Saifuddin Hamza Shah.[1]
Shihab-ud-Din Bayazid Shah continued the friendly relation with China like his predecessors and once sent a giraffe to the Chinese emperor with a letter written on a golden leaf. He issued coins from AH 814 to AH 817. The numismatic evidence shows that he was succeeded by his son Alauddin Firuz Shah, who issued coins in AH 817. According to Firishta, Raja Ganesha usurped the throne after the death of Shihab-ud-Din Bayazid Shah, while according to the Riaz-us-Salatin, a late chronicle written in 1788, Raja Ganesha killed Shihabuddin Bayazid Shah and usurped the throne.[1]
