The affairs of the Prince rapidly declining, he conceived that nothing but desperate measures could retrieve them. Accordingly he marched to Kalpy, and placing his family in security in that fort, he collected all his troops, and assumed the title of King, under the title of Julal-ood-Deen. At the same time, he sent a trusty person to Azim Hoomayoon, who was at the time besieging Kalunjur, to join him. Azim Hoomayoon did so; but recommended the Prince, in the first instance, to establish himself firmly at Joonpoor. The Prince accordingly marched against the son of Moobarik Khan Lody, governor of Oude, and compelled him to retreat to Luknow. Ibrahim Lody, hearing of these proceedings, marched his army to that quarter, and confined his other brothers in the fort of Hansy, where they remained for life. This event took place on Thursday the 24th of Zeehuj, A. H. 923. - [Previous: 51.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.2) - [Next: 51.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.4) - [Up: 51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.3) · Pramāṇa
