Heidur was succeeded by his son Hussun, through the zealous assistance of one Ahmud Ahoo. Having imprisoned all his opponents, the King established his capital at Nowshehra, appointing Ahmud Ahoo his prime minister, with the title of Mullik Ahmud, and his son, Nowroze, to the office of Ameer-i-Dur. The King’s uncle, Beiram Khan, quitted Kashmeer in disgust, and went to India. Hussun renewed the laws and edicts of his grandfather, Zein-ool-Abid-Deen, which had fallen into disuse during the short reign of his father; but some malecontents, who disliked the new order of things, and expecting to derive advantage from a change in the government, invited Beiram Khan to return, persuading him that he would easily succeed in establishing himself on the throne. Beiram Khan marched from India by the route of Kurmar with this view, and penetrating through the hills, arrived without opposition in the province of Gujraj. The King, who had moved towards Depalpoor, now proceeded to Seevapoor, in order to attack his uncle. He was persuaded by some of his officers to invade India; but his minister, Mullik Ahmud, recommended him to suspend all other objects till the force of his uncle was dispersed. - [Previous: 334](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.334) - [Next: 335.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.335.2) - [Up: 335](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.335) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.335.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.335.1) · Pramāṇa
