His vizier, towards the latter end of his reign, was Fukhr-ool-Moolk Assamy, who had been formerly vizier of the Caliph of Bagdad for thirty years, where he was much esteemed on account of his wisdom and learning. He left that court on account of some offence, and came to Dehly, where he was appointed prime minister. Noor-ood-Deen Mahomed Oofy, the author of the Jama-ool-Hikayat (a collection of historical anecdotes), lived during this time at the court of Dehly. The reign of Shums-ood-Deen Altmish lasted twenty-six years. He was an enterprising, able, and good prince. - [Previous: 27.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27.9) - [Next: 28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.28) - [Up: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.27.10) · Pramāṇa
