Riyaz al-salatin 79: REIGN OF BAYAZID KHAN, SON OF SULAIMAN KHAN.

79

After Sulaiman's death, his son Bayazid Khan, assuming the sovereignty, ascended the throne of Bengal. As yet more than a month had not elapsed, and according to another account, one year and six months he had ruled, when an Afghan named Hanso, who was a cousin and brother-in-law of Bayazid, attacking him, killed him by stratagem in the Audience-hall, and attempted to become Administrator of the affairs of the kingdom. Lodi Khan who was a principal and trusty officer of Sulaiman Khan, demurring, tried to kill him. According to a tradition, after 2½ days, the younger brother, named Daud Khan, killed Hanso, to avenge the death of his brother. Either way, after Bayazid, his brother, Daud Khan, succeeded to the throne.
