Jam Nizamuddin I

After Jám Saláhuddín’s death the nobles of the state put his son Jám Nizámuddín bin Jám Saláhuddín on the throne. His first act of kindness was the release of his cousins* Sikandar, Karn and Baháuddín and Ámar, who had been placed in captivity by the advice of the ministers. He appointed every one of them as an officer to discharge administrative duties in different places, while he himself remained in the capital, superintending the work done by them and other officials in different quarters of the country. Before long, however, his cousins, very ungratefully made a conspiracy among themselves and stealthily coming to the capital attempted to seize him. But Jám Saláhuddín learning their intention in time, left the place at the dead of night with a handful of men and made his escape to Gujrát. In the morning, men were sent after him, but before any information could be brought about him, the people summoned Alísher son of Jám Tamáchí who was living in obscurity, and raised him to the throne. Meanwhile Jám Nizámuddín also died in his flight and his cousins too being disappointed in every thing, lived roving lives.
