c13.s2.41

⁵² Nizāmuddīn explicitly mentions Qutb Khan, son of Islām Khan Lodī, then a prisoner at Jaunpur. T.A., I, 304 and Ferishta, II, 308 also have Qutb Khan Lodī. 'Abdulla has princes Hasan Khan and Qutb Khan. T.D., 18. Ahmad Yādgār too has Qutb Khan and the two sons of Sultan Mahmūd (T.S.A., 14). Elliot adds a note, E and D, V, 82, to clarify the confusion, "In the *Tārīkh-i-Dāūdī*", says he, "they are called two sons of Sultan Shāh by name Hasan Khan and Qutb Khan. The insertion of Lodī must be an error, though his father's name was also Sultan Shāh. These princes were evidently of the Jaunpur family, and Sultan Shāh (Jaunpurī) himself appears as one of the conspirators against Muhammad Shāh." Sultan Muhammad of Jaunpur had ordered the death of Qutb Khan Jaunpurī and not of the Lodī prisoner of war of the same name. The Persian chroniclers have mixed up the two.
