v3.c26.61

In 1510 Shihāb-ud-dīn, his son and heir apparent, rose in rebellion, and was joined by most of the nobles in the provinces and many in the capital, who were disgusted by the king’s tyranny. Nāsir-ud-dīn marched against him and met him, with greatly inferior numbers, at Dhār. Shihāb-ud-dīn, encouraged by his numerical superiority, attacked his father, but was defeated and fled to Chanderī, and, when he was pursued thither, to Siprī. His father followed him, and having vainly attempted to persuade him to return to his allegiance set out for Māndū, but died on his way thither.
