Tughlaq Tamar Khan

Tughlaq Tamar Khan was the governor of Oudh and Bengal during the reign of Sultan Aluddin Masud Shah.

History

In 1246 Tughral Tughan Khan, the governor of Bengal, was under attack by the Orians. The then governor of Oudh, Tamar Khan, was sent to Bengal to help Tughan Khan. The Oriya army fled before the Delhi army reached Bengal. Tughlaq Tamar Khan vied for power with Tughan Khan and a civil war broke out. Tamar Khan himself assumed the power by defeating Tughan Khan.[1]

In 1247 Tamar Khan died after ruling only for 2 years.
