Thus, late in 1551, ended ten years of Mughul rule in Kashmīr, whose turbulent nobles were now free to resume their intrigues and quarrels. Nāzuk Shāh was seated, for the third time, on the throne, and the chiefs of the Chakk tribe extended their influence by judicious intermarriage with other tribes. An invasion by Haibat Khān, at the head of a force of Niyāzī Afghāns, was repelled, and the victory helped Daulat, now the most prominent Chakk, to acquire the supreme power in the state. In 1552 he deposed Nāzuk Shāh, who had reigned for no more than ten months, and enthroned his elder son, Ibrāhīm II, whose short reign of three years was marked by a victory over the Tibetans, who had invaded the kingdom, and by a great earthquake which changed the course of the Jhelum, as well as by a quarrel between Daulat Chakk and another chieftain of the same tribe, Ghāzī Khān, son of Kājī Chakk.
