Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq Shah II (Persian:غیاث الدین تغلق شاه دوم), bornTughluq Khan (Persian:تغلق خان), was a Sultan of theTughlaq dynasty of theDelhi Sultanate. He succeeded his great-grandfather,Firoz Shah Tughlaq.[1]
Tughluq Shah II was the son of Fateh Khan and the grandson of Firuz Khan, oldest son and heir apparent of sultanFiroz Shah Tughlaq.[2]
He ascended to the throne in 1388.[3] However, a succession crisis started almost immediately withMuhammad Shah ibn Firoz Shah staking his claim with the support of one of his nephewsAbu Bakr Khan, the son of Zafar Khan. Tughluq Khan dispatched troops against his granduncle towards the foot of the hills ofSirmur.Muhammad Shah Tughlaq ibn Firoz Shah, after a brief battle, took shelter in theFort of Kangra, and Tughluq Khan's army returned toDelhi without pursuing him any further due to the difficulties of the venture and terrain.
Eventually, someUmara joinedAbu Bakr Khan, son of Zafar Khan and grandson ofSultanFiroz Shah Tughlaq, and plotted to assassinate Tughluq Khan. In 1389, they surrounded the Sultan andJahan Khan, hisvizier, and put them to death, hanging up their heads over the gate of the Delhi city. The duration of Tughluq Khan's reign was five months and eighteen days.
