Nasir-ood-Deen Mahomed Toghlik, first ascended the throne, in his father's lifetime, in the year 789, (A.D. 1387,) and we have seen how he was deposed and expelled by Baha-ood-Deen, and the other chiefs in confederacy with the Mogul officers of Guzerat and the household troops. We have also given a narrative of his transactions till he shut himself up in the fort of Nagrakote. The Ameer Jideeda having assassinated the late king's minister, Mulik Sooltan, who was also governor of Samana, Nasir-ood-Deen Mahomed, according to their invitation, marched from Nagrakote towards Dehly, where finding himself at the head of 50,000 horse, he advanced towards the capital, and on the 5th of Rubbee-ool-Awul, in the year 792 entered it at the head of 50,000 men, and occupied the palace of Jehan Nooma. - [Previous: 43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.43) - [Next: 44.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44.2) - [Up: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.44.1) · Pramāṇa
