List of Bahmani rulers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bahmani Sultanate (c. 1347–1527 CE) was an Sunni Muslim kingdom that ruled the Deccan Plateau in Southern India.[1]
The kingdom came to power in 1347 CE, when it was established by Zafar Khan. The Bahmani Sultanate shared border with neighboring rival Vijayanagara Empire.[2] The Sultanate would begin its decline under the reign of Mahmood Shah. In 1518, the Bahmani Sultanate split up into the Deccan sultanates, ending its 180-year rule over the Deccan.[3][4]
