The reigning prince at Daulatabad

The archive’s essay on the extinction follows the fall of Daulatabad: it “took the capital, the treasury and the reigning prince”, and “Husain Nizam Shah III went north”. Bosworth lists him at AH 1041–3, 1632–3; Britannica, counting from this surrender, ends the dynasty in 1633, and the archive does not, because a boy of the house was crowned within months.
