At one period the province was subject to the sovereigns of Delhi: at another it was under the control of the rulers of Sind, and for a time was held by the princes of Ghazni. After its conquest by Mụizzu'ddín Sám (Ghori), it continued to pay tribute to Delhi. In the year A. H. 847 (A. D. 1443) when Sulṭán Aláu'ddín reigned at Delhi, and constituted authority fell into contempt, every chief in possession of power, set up a pretension to independence. A noisy faction raised Shaikh Yúsuf Ḳuraishi, a disciple of Shaikh Baháu'ddín Zakaríya, to supremacy. He was subsequently deposed and proceeded with haste to the court of Sulṭán Bahlól at Delhi. The sovereignty now devolved upon one of the Langáh family, who assumed the title of Sulṭán Maḥmúd Sháh. It is related that this chief had given his daughter in marriage to Shaikh Yúsuf, and on the strength of this connection, used frequently to visit her alone, till one night by a successful intrigue he accomplished his design on the throne. During the reign of Sulṭán Ḳuṭbu'ddín, Sulṭán Maḥmúd Khilji advanced from Málwah against Multán but returned without effecting anything. Some maintain that the first of the Langáh family who was raised to the throne was Ḳuṭbu'ddín. In the reign of Sulṭán Husain, Bahlól sent (his son) Barbak Sháh with a force to reinstate Shaikh Yúsuf, but they returned unsuccessful. Sulṭán Ḥusain becoming old and doting, placed his eldest son upon the throne under the title of Firóz Sháh, and withdrew into retirement. His Wazír Imadu'l Mulk, poisoned him in revenge for the murder of his own son and Sulṭán Ḥusain a second time resumed the sceptre and appointed Maḥmúd Khán, son of Sulṭán Firóz, his heir. On the death of Sulṭán Ḥusain, after a reign of 30 or 34 years,* Sulṭán Maḥmúd ascended the throne. During his reign several incursions were made by the Mughals who, however, retired discomfited. Some malicious intriguers through jealousy created a misunderstanding between the Sulṭán and Jám Bayazíd who had long held the office of prime minister, and misrepresentations cunningly made in a roundabout way, brought them into open conflict. The minister withdrew from Multán to Shór and read the khuṭbah in the name of Sulṭán Sikandar Lódi. On the death of Sulṭán Maḥmúd, his infant son was raised to the throne as Sulṭán Ḥusain (II). Mírzá Sháh Ḥusain (Arghún) marched from Tattah and took Multán and entrusted its charge to Langar Khán. Mírzá Kámrán dispossessed him of it and after him Shér Khán, Salím Khán and Sikandar successively held it till the splendour of Humayún's equal administration filled Hindustán with its brightness and secured its peace. At the present day under the just sway of His Majesty his subjects find there an undisturbed repose.
