Dynasty · 1186 – 1206
Northern India — the Ghurids
Dates mark Ghurid sovereign rule from Lahore: the 582/1186 conquest that ended the Ghaznavids there, through to Mu'izz al-Din Muhammad's assassination in 602/1206, after which the dynasty was rent by internal squabbles and Qutb al-Din Aybak (installed at Lahore by one of the last Ghurids) founded the independent Delhi line. Ghurid raiding into India (Multan, c.1175) predates this row's start; only sovereign rule from an Indian seat is dated here, per the opened source.
