Sultan Muhammad (Timurid dynasty)
- Sultan Muhammad (Timurid dynasty)
Sultan Muhammad (d. c. 1451) was the Timurid ruler of Persia and Fars from around 1447 until his death. He was the son of Baisunqur b. Shah Rukh.
During the last years of Shah Rukh's (d. 1447) reign, Sultan Muhammad raised a revolt in the western provinces of the Timurid Empire. Shah Rukh was able to stop the revolt and capture many of its supporters in 1446, but Sultan Muhammad took refuge in Luristan. After Shah Rukh's death, Sultan Muhammad returned from Luristan and from there assumed control of central Persia. Together with his half-brother Abu'l-Qasim Bābur of Khurasan and uncle Ulugh Beg of Transoxiana, he became one of the three most powerful rulers of the splintering empire.
Sultan Muhammad, eager to expand his domain, soon started a war with Abu'l-Qasim Babur and invaded Khurasan. At first the campaign went well; in 1450 he defeated Abu'l-Qasim at Mashad, following which the latter yielded some of his lands to him. Things soon turned south, however, and he was captured by Abu'l-Qasim, who had him executed. Abu'l-Qasim then took over Sultan Muhammad's territories, but soon lost them to the Qara Qoyunlu Turkmen under Jahan Shah.
