Lahore was not immidiately annexed but seems to have been restored to Qubachah; Hasan Nizami hints at an agreement whose alleged breach, in 614/1217, furnished Iltutmish with a *casus belli* to make war and wrest the province². Lahore was evidently in Qubachah’s possession when the Delhi forces marched out. As they crossed the Beas, Qubachah took fright and fled to Uch³. Unopposed, Iltutmish occupied Lahore and for the first time placed his own governor there⁴.
