For Madura under Pāṇḍya kings see the list of Pāṇḍyas below. In A.D. 1327, after the southern expedition of Muhammad Tughlak, Madura fell into the hands of the Sultan of Delhi. The Muhammadan Governor in 1335 was Jalālu-d-dīn Aḥsan Shāh, who broke away from his allegiance and became independent, beginning to rule in that year as Sultan of Madura. Successive Sultans held the country till in 1371 Kampana II son of Bukka I of Vijayanagar, now very powerful, marched to the south and seized Madura. What follows is not very clear, for coins have been found of Sultan Alāu-d-dīn Sikandar as late as 1378.
