Jalaluddin Fateh Shah (Bengali: জলালউদ্দীন ফতেহ শাহ, Persian: جلال الدین فتح شاه) was the last ruler of later Ilyas Shahi dynasty of the Bengal Sultanate reigning from 1481 to 1487. He was the uncle and successor of Sultan Shamsuddin Yusuf Shah.
Early life and family
Fateh was born in the 14th-century into an aristocratic
Ganesha dynasty, and his father, Mahmud, was a farmer of rural Bengal in his early life. Following a coup in 1435, the nobles of Bengal installed Fateh's father to the throne, thus re-establishing Ilyas Shahi rule in Bengal.[4]
Accession and reign
Fateh Shah's accession occurred in 1481, as the nobles of Bengal deemed his brother Nuruddin Sikandar Shah to be mentally unfit.[5][6]
No reference of military expedition led by Fateh Shah is found. But from the numismatic evidence it can be presumed that his kingdom extended to
Habshi palace-guards, Shahzada Barbak
, in 1487.
By his death, the rule of
Ilyas dynasty
came to an end.
