Riyaz al-salatin 34: RULE OF 'ALAU-D-DIN KHAN.

34

When Sultan Shamsu-d-din Altamsh heard the news of the death of his beloved son, he observed the necessary ceremonies of mourning; and in the year 627 A. H. for the purpose of quenching the fire of insurrection which had appeared in Bengal after the death of Nasiru-d-din, proceeded to Lakhnauti, and after fighting with Malik Hussamu-d-din Khilji, who raising insurrection had brought about complete disorder in the government of Bengal, captured him. After weeding out the root of insurrection, and quelling the tumult of rebellion, he assigned the rule of that kingdom to Izzul-mulk Malik 'Alau-d-din Khan. And the latter devoting himself to the subjugation and administration of the country enforced in this country the Imperial Khutbah and coin. After ruling three years, he was recalled.
