The Sultan of Delhi was the ruler of the Sultanate of Delhi that stretched over large parts of the subcontinent during the period of Medieval India, for 320 years (1206–1526).^[1]^[2] Following the conquest of South Asia by the Ghurids, five unrelated heterogeneous dynasties ruled over the Delhi Sultanate sequentially: the Mamluk dynasty (1206–1290), the Khalji dynasty (1290–1320), the Tughlaq dynasty (1320–1414),^[3] the Sayyid dynasty (1414–1451), and the Lodi dynasty (1451–1526). It covered large swaths of territory in modern-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.^[4]
