Muhammad Shah (Sayyid dynasty)
Tomb of Muhammad Shah
Muhammad Shah (r. 1434–1445) was the third monarch of the Sayyid dynasty which ruled the Delhi Sultanate. He succeeded his uncle, Mubarak Shah to the throne. The Sayyids were subservient to Timur's successor, Shah Rukh. According to the chronicler, Muhammad Bihamadkhani, who was a contemporary, this obedience continued in Muhammad Shah's reign.[1] Both Muhammad Shah and his son, Alam Shah who succeeded him, were incapable rulers and were supplanted by the Lodi dynasty.[2]
Muhammad Shah's tomb is a notable monument within the Lodi Gardens of New Delhi.
