[1] Ibrahim was a sickly child, and died from an unknown disease (though it is now believed to be typhus) within a year of his taking the throne. His death would set off a civil war within Delhi.
[2] Bairam was Ibrahim's younger brother, who was largely dominated by his vizier Aziz. During the Civil War, forces under Aziz's command murdered the child and took control of Delhi.
[3] Muhammad was the first of the House of Nadu, instated Sultan due to he being the mastermind behind the rebel forces.
[4] Oversaw the conquest of Gondwana.
[5]Weak, corrupt despot. Overthrown by his Vizier in 1395,who was in turn killed by a young Afghan general by the name of Ismael, who seized the throne for himself.
[6]Ibrahim's corrupt and greedy Vizier. Executed by Ismael after he seized Delhi.
[7] Known as the Bureaucrat-King; instead of focusing on conquests, he focused on developing the government of the Sultanate. Also famously held out against Timur.
[8] Oversaw the annexations of Rajputana, Gujarat and Kashmir. Held out against the Timurids' second attempt at invading India.
[9] Instituted several reforms and important laws that helped to push the Sultanates technology. Instituted major trade reform, and had a de facto alliance with the Ottoman Empire.
[10] A kinsman of Farroukh who reached the throne through ruthless political assassinations at the age of 37, also known as Muammar the Great. An expert in the tribal politics of the North (where his native lands lay) he vassalized Nepal and Afghanistan, conquered Balochistan, and beat back the Persians, Burmans, and Dravidians. Known as well for his artistic and cultural achievements. He was also the first ruler to form an alliance with a European power, favoring France over Portugal and Spain. His vast empire would be split between his four sons, thus resulting in Delhi losing Balochistan and Nepal, which soon became rival kingdoms under his second and third sons. His son Imran found himself in a difficult situation, with enemies on all sides and a kingdom left bankrupted by his father's wars and artistic pursuits.
[11] The loss of the lands of the empire are felt at first, but soon, through trade deals with the French and secretly, the Portuguese, the treasury is built up once again, allowing him to war against his brothers, taking them out through assassinations rather than outright warfare.
[12] Imran himself was assassinated by an ambitious Prince who claimed direct descent from Muhammad III. He had Imran's entire family killed as well, to ensure that no one would be able to challenge his claim to the throne. His eccentricity and passing of land reforms ensured that he was remembered as 'The People's King'. However, his brutal repression of the old aristocracy and his popularity among the peasants earned him many enemies, and he was found with his throat slit in bed one morning in 1664. He left no heirs, having had no concubines and being celibate(some historians have speculated that he was homosexual, but there is no evidence that supports this theory).
[13] An ambitious ruler, he claimed descent from Timur and during his reign, conquered Assam, the Deccan and conquered the South through military might and diplomatic prowess. His reign left the foundation for a strong empire, and his son, Hassim was left to become a strong emperor, not just a sultan.
[14] While settling out relations with surrounding neighbours (through diplomatic means, which he was renowned for), Hassim looked to the New World, and-- using his relations with France and Portugal-- managed to set up the Sultanate of New Delhi (on the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula.) The colony is surrendered to the British after the Treaty of Paris.
[15] Undertook several domestic and military reforms; aided his ally France in attempting to contain the republican governments installed in Portugal and Castile.
