Saifuddin Hamza Shah

Saifuddin Hamza Shah

Saifuddin Hamza Shah (Bangla: সাইফুদ্দীন হামজাহ শাহ) was the son and successor of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Azam Shah of Bengal. Hamza Shah ruled Bengal for about two years (1411-1413). After the murder of Ghiyasuddin Azam Shah the nobles and the generals of the army raised Saifuddin to the throne. He assumed the tittle of Sultan-us-Salatin and issued a number of coins from Firuzabad (Capital), Satgaon and Muazzamabad (eastern Bengal).

Though sober and liberal in character, he was, nonetheless, a weak ruler. He exchanged envoys with Emperor Yung Lo of China. During the rule of Hamza Shah a civil war broke out between him and his kinsmen in which Raja Ganesh, a landlord of Dinajpur in North-west Bengal, had a role. Ultimately, on the orders of Raja Ganesh, Hamza Shah was killed by his slave Shihabuddin Bayazid Shah.
