The dynasty was founded by one Malik Sarwar, the eunuch slave minister of the last Tughluqid Maḥmūd Shāh II, who conquered Oudh on behalf of his master in 796/1394 and then remained there as virtual ruler, persuading the sultan to grant him the title of Malik al-Sharq ‘King of the East’ ... Jawnpur, indeed, became known as ‘the Shīrāz of the East’.
