11. *Ballāḷa III* was crowned on January 31, 1292 (*E. C. vi. Cm. 36*). His death at the hands of Ghiyāsu-d-din took place on September 8, 1342, he being then 80 years of age (*E. C. vi. Kd. 75*). Before his coronation he was reigning for some months (*E. C. vi. Kd. 49; ix. Kn. 64*). Ibn Batuta relates his tragic end, how he was put to death and his skin stuffed with straw and exposed to the public. Two records shew him alive on July 3 and September 5, 1342 (*E. C. ix. Bm. 21; Dv. 21*).
