On the death of Bheilole Lody, and on the accession of his eldest son, Sikundur Lody, Hoossein Shah Shurky incited the Prince Barbik of Joonpoor to march against his brother, and wrest the government out of his hands; but Barbik was defeated in the first action, and retired to Joonpoor, to which place he was pursued by Sikundur Lody. Joonpoor fell shortly after, and it was added to the kingdom of Dehly. Hoossein Shah was now induced to seek refuge with Alla-ood-Deen Poorby of Bengal, by whom he was treated with the respect due to his station till his death. The subversion of the Shurky dynasty may be dated therefore from the subjugation of that principality by Sikundur Lody, an event which occurred in the year 881. The reign of Hoossein Shah Shurky lasted for a period of nineteen years. - [Previous: 285.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.285.3) - [Next: 286](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.286) - [Up: 285](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.285) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.285.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.285.4) · Pramāṇa
