Some time after this, the Prince, discovering that Hissam-ood-Deen was intriguing at the court of Ahmudnuggur, in order to replace Alum Khan on the throne, ordered him to appear at court. Hissam-ood-Deen, aware of the cause of this summons, determined neither to give umbrage by disobeying the order, nor to go so slightly attended as to render his imprisonment a matter of easy accomplishment. He in consequence went, at the head of four thousand horse, to Boorhanpoor, and was met at some distance by Adil Khan, who had only a small retinue of three hundred men with him. Hissam-ood-Deen received every attention, and the following was the day fixed for him to pay his visit in state; on which occasion the King gave instructions to have him murdered by his servants the moment he left the hall of audience. Hissam-ood-Deen, as was expected, came to the levee attended by all his officers, while the whole of his cavalry remained drawn up on the outside, with a view of overawing the King. After a long and formal visit, the King took Hissam-ood-Deen aside into a private apartment, under the plea of communicating something important, and on his return he was cut down by the royal guards. - [Previous: 239.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.239.2) - [Next: 239.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.239.4) - [Up: 239](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.239) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.239.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.239.3) · Pramāṇa
