Immediately after the death of Ahmud Shah II., in the year 969, Etimad Khan produced a lad named Hubboo, whom he stated to be the son of Mahmood Shah II.; asserting that his mother had concealed the circumstance of her pregnancy till the fifth month... This testimony being received as sufficiently satisfactory, the boy was duly crowned, under the name of Moozuffur Shah III.
