The Slave-kings were followed by the House of Khiljī. The most distinguished member of this house was ’Alāu-d-dīn Khiljī. Among other things, it was he who brought the Koh-i-Nūr to Northern India. He was brutal and ignorant, but he was a great administrator, and many of his measures were adopted by Sher Shāh and Akbar. Lord Bryce
