v3.c23.31

Husain lived in Bengal under the protection of Shams-ud-dīn Yūsuf Shāh and his successors on the throne of that kingdom until 1500, but made no attempt to recover his throne beyond fomenting the strife between Bārbak and his younger brother, Sikandar, who succeeded their father on the throne of Delhi in 1489. His hope that the quarrel might open a way for his return to his former kingdom was frustrated, for Sikandar overcame Bārbak and Jaunpur was absorbed in the kingdom of Delhi, and Husain died in exile in circumstances not widely different from those in which his father-in-law, the former king of Delhi, died at Budaun.
