260

On the death of Ahmud, one of his personal attendants had the audacity to usurp the place of his sovereign, and seizing the King’s property, distributed it among his fellow-servants, in order to obtain their support; but the nobles of the state having discovered one of the descendants of Shums-ood-Deen Bhungera I., placed him on the throne, and deposed the usurper; who is stated by some historians to have reigned several days; others, only a few hours.
