Gujarat Sultanate - Mahmud Begada

Mahmud Begada

After the death of Qutb-ud-Din Ahmad Shah II in 1458, the nobles raised his uncle Daud Khan to the throne. But within a short period of seven or twenty-seven days the nobles deposed him and set on the throne Fath Khan, son of Muhammad Shah II. Fath Khan, on his accession, adopted the title Abu-al Fath Mahmud Shah but he was popularly known as Mahmud Begadha. He received the sobriquet Begadha, which literally means conqueror of two forts, probably after conquering Girnar and Champaner forts. Mahmud died on 23 November 1511.
