Sayyid dynasty Delhi Sultanate



The Sayyid dynasty was the fourth dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate from 1414 to 1451. They succeeded the Tughlaq dynasty and ruled that sultanate until they were displaced by the Lodi dynasty.
This family claimed to be Sayyids, descendants of Muhammad. After Timur sacked Delhi and ended the Delhi Sultanate in 1398, he appointed Sayyids as the governor of Delhi. Their 37-year period of dominance witnessed the rule of four different members of the dynasty.
