Kamran Shah Durrani

Kamran Shah Durrani, was born in the Sadozai dynasty of Afghanistan. He was the son of Mahmud Shah Durrani, grandson of Timur Shah Durrani and the great grandson of Ahmad Shah Durrani, the founder of the Durrani Empire. He was deposed and killed in early 1842, by his vizier Yar Muhammad Khan Alakozai.

Reign
After Timur Shah's death in 1793, Afghanistan fell apart into multiple pieces. Eventually Mahmud Shah took the throne in 1809 and had as vizier Fateh Khan Barakzai. In April 1818, Fateh Khan conquered Herat for Mahmud but he fell out of favour with him and Mahmud Shah and his son Kamran accompanied by allies repaid Fateh Khan's services by having him brutally assassinated in 1818. With the assassination of Fateh Khan, the fall of the Durrani Empire began. Thus, after a bloody conflict, Mahmud Shah was deprived of all his possessions except Herat. The rest of his dominions were divided among Fateh Khan's brothers. Mahmud Shah Durrani died in 1829. Herat was then ruled by Kamran Shah. In Early 1842, he was deposed and killed in Kohsan on the orders of his Vazir Yar Mohammad Khan Alakozai. Most of his family migrated to Quetta in British India.
