Tughluq Shah Ghiasuddin Tughluq II

Sultan of Delhi during Tughluq Dynasty

Reign – A.D. 1388 to 1389

Father – Fateh Khan

In September A.D. 1388 after the death of Firoz Shah Tughluq, his grandson Tughluq Shah ascended the throne and assumed the title of Tughluq Shah Ghiasuddin Tughluq II.

His father name was Fateh Khan. His accession was opposed by his uncle Shahzada Muhammad. He declared himself to be the real ruler of Delhi and assumed the title of Nasiruddin Muhammad but he was defeated by Tughluq Shah and fled away towards Kangra.

Tughluq Shah himself was young, inexperienced and given to sensual pleasures. He started making excessive use of wine and women and forfeited the respect and affection of the nobles. He increased the number of his opponents by his own bad conduct. Tughluq Shah began to imprison his opponents on the basis of suspicion only. Being afraid of it, his cousin Abu Bakr, son of Zafar Khan, conspired against him in order to take revenge and succeeded in assassinating him on 19^th February A.D. 1389.
