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.[1] He was killed in 1494 by the rebels led by his wazir Sayyid Husain, who succeeded him as Alauddin Husain Shah.
