Shamsuddin Muzaffar Shah


Shamsuddin Muzaffar Shah (reigned 1490–94) was an Abyssinian sultan of late medieval Bengal. Sidi Badr, an Abyssinian, first killed Habash Khan, also an Abyssinian, the regent of the boy-king Mahmud Shah II, also an Abyssinian, and later killed the sultan also. He ascended the throne under the title of Shams-ud-Din Muzaffar Shah. He is described by the Indo-Persian historians as a tyrant, whose cruelty alienated the nobles as well as his common subjects. He was killed in 1494 by the rebels led by his wazir Sayyid Husain, who succeeded him as Alauddin Husain Shah.
