List of sultans of Delhi

The Sultan of Delhi was the absolute monarch of the Delhi Sultanate that stretched over large parts of the subcontinent during the period of Medieval India, for 320 years (1206–1526). 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), the Sayyid dynasty (1414–1451), and the Lodi dynasty (1451–1526). It covered large swaths of territory in modern-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
