Tughlaq Tamar Khan

Tughlaq Tamar Khan (Bengali: তুগরল তমর খান) was the governor of Oudh and Bengal during the reign of Sultan Aluddin Masud Shah.

The Province of Bengal, under the governorship of Tughral Tughan Khan, was invaded by Odia armies in the year 1241.

[1] Though unable to slay his rival, Tamar Khan was able to drive him from the Province and gain control of both the Sultanate armies of Bengal and Oudh by bribing the remaining generals.

In 1246, Tamar Khan finally entered Bengal where, aided by a revolt of local Zamindars, he was able to take control of the old capital of Devkot.

In 1247 Tamar Khan died of a fever upon which North Bengal was reconquered by the Odia general, Paramardi Dev.
