Husseyn Langah I (Persian: حُسین لنگاہ اَوّل Huṣaīn Langāh Awwal) was the second Langah Sultan of Multan, who reigned from 1469 until his death in 1498. He undertook military campaigns in Punjab and captured Chiniot and Shorkot.[1]
Reign[edit]
The reign of Sultan Husseyn I is considered to be the most illustrious of the Langah Sultans.[2] Multan experienced prosperity during this time, and a large number of Baloch settlers arrived in the city at the invitation of Shah Husayn.[2] Shah Husayn successfully repulsed attempted invasion by the Delhi Sultans led by Tatar Khan and Barbak Shah. [2] He fought off attempts to reinstall Shiekh Yousaf who had taken refuge under Delhi Sultans. Eventually, he signed a peace treaty with Sikander Lodhi and abducted in the favour of his son. His successor, Budhan Khan, who assumed the title Sultan Mahmud Shah I, inherited the Sultanate stretched encompassing the neighbouring regions, including the cities of Chiniot and Shorkot.[2] During the rule of the Langah, a large number of Baloch tribes were allowed to settle in the Derajaat Border in turn for military service.[3] [4]
