Succeeds his father as King of Berar — marches to the support of Mahmood Shah Bahmuny, but fails in being able to assist him — seizes the forts of Mahoor and Ramgir from the sons of Khoodawund Khan — is attacked by Boorhan Nizam Shah, and the two forts are taken. — Alla-ood-Deen Imad Shah forms an alliance with the ruler of Kandeish — their army defeated by Boorhan Nizam Shah. — Imad Shah solicits aid from Bahadur Shah of Guzerat. — Exertions made by that Prince, who receives homage from Alla-ood-Deen Imad Shah. — Death of Alla-ood-Deen Imad Shah. On the death of Futteh Oolla, his eldest son, Alla-ood-Deen, succeeded to the government; and following the example of other chiefs of the house of Bahmuny, declared himself King, under the title of Alla-ood-Deen Imad Shah; and established his royal residence at Gavul. When Mahmood Shah Bahmuny fled from the persecutions of Ameer Bereed, this prince marched with the whole of the army of Berar to Bidur, in order to replace him on his throne; but Boorhan Nizam Shah Bheiry, fearing the restitution of the Bahmuny dynasty, marched to the assistance of Ameer Bereed, and, as has been related, Mahmood Shah, in the heat of an action which took place, fled from his ally, and threw himself again into the hands of Ameer Bereed.
