ABDU'LLAH KHÁN

Was the grandson of Hulágu Khán who advanced upon India by way of Kábul, A. H. 691 (A. D. 1292,) Sulṭán Jalálu'ddín (Fíroz Khilji, A. D. 1288–95), marched to stem the disaster and a stubborn engagement was fought at Bagrám,* after which the invader retreated on terms of peace. Algú,* a grandson of Changíz Khán, with many other chiefs entered the service of the Sulṭán, who gave him his daughter in marriage. In the begin­ning of the reign* of Sulṭán Aláu'ddín, some of the Túrán troops crossed the Indus, and he despatched (Almás Beg) Ulugh Khán and afar Khán with a large force to oppose them. The Mughals were defeated, some were taken prisoners, but the greater number were slain.
