The prince selected by the Sayyids’ party for the dangerous honour of the throne was Ibrāhīm,¹ a brother of the two puppet emperors, Rafī‘-ud-Darajāt and Rafī‘-ud-Daula. He was proclaimed at Delhi on 14 October, two days before the arrival of ‘Abdullah Khān, who assembled troops—many of which were of very poor quality. His army marched out to the Qutb Mīnār on 2 November and on the 14th reached Bilochpur, a village on the Jumna about five miles north of Hasanpur.
