Khizr Khan, Sultan

Khizr Khan, Sultan
(?-1421)
   The first ruler of the Saiyid dy-nasty, he was the son of Sulaiman, the commandant of Multan un-der Firuz Shah Tughlaq (1351-1388). Succeeding his father at Mul-tan, he was entitled first Nasir ul-Mulk and later, in 1389, Khizr Khan. In the beginning of Sultan Mahmud Shah Tughlaq's reign (1394-1412), the muqti' of Dipalpur, Sarang Khan, occupied Mul-tan, taking Khizr Khan a prisoner. Escaping from imprisonment, he joined Amir Timur, who confirmed him as the commandant of Mul-tan and Dipalpur. He was practically an independent ruler of these places following Timur's invasion. In 1405, Khizr Khan defeated Mallu Iqbal Khan, who had usurped authority at Delhi. On Mah-mud Tughlaq's death (1412), Khizr Khan came to rule from Delhi in 1414. Subsequently, he firmly suppressed the local chiefs in Katehr, Etawa, Gwalior, and Mewat for collecting revenue in the form of tribute. He recruited many Afghan chiefs into his army who were mostly stationed in the Punjab, and Sultan Shah, an uncle of Bahlul Lodi (1451-1489), was one of them.
