Ghiyasuddin, the usurper of 1564
Killed Jalal Shah’s unnamed son within seven months of his accession and "usurped the reins of the sovereignty of Bengal"; he held it "not more than one year and eleven days" before Taj Khan Karrani killed him (Riyaz p. 150). The Riyaz gives him no kinship to Jalal Shah’s line.
