Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Part of an Universal History, Vol. 6: From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time The first expedition we meet with into this peninsula, is that of Mahmud Shah king of Dehli, surnamed Nasro´ddîn, who ascended the throne in the year 1264, and is famous for his great conquests over India. We are told that this prince, descending from the north with a powerful army, conquered all the Hindus as far as the kingdom of Kanara, with part of the country possessed by the ancestors of the king of Bisnagar. Then returning to Dehli, he left Habed Shah to prosecute his conquests. This general, by his conduct and valour, became so great, that he coped with his master. His nephew Madûra following his good fortune, possessed himself of the kingdom of Kanâra, and casting off his allegiance to the king of Dehli, gave to his new-founded dominion the name of Dekan, or Dekkan, from the various kinds of people whereof his army, which conquered it, was composed; for Dekkan signifies bastards. Then dividing his territories into eighteen parts, he gave the government of them to so many of his slave-commanders, obliging each of them to build a palace at Bedir, which was his royal seat, and leave his son behind for hostage. In process of time the number of those governors diminishing, they who remained grew more powerful, while the king of Dekan had scarce any thing left more than his capital city and the name. In short, when the Portuguese arrived first in the Indies in 1498, there were in Dekan only seven defendants of those usurping slaves; whose names, or titles, were Nizamuluk, Madremaluk, Malek Veridi, Kosa Mokadam, Abeshjapado, or the Abyssine eunuch, Kota Maluk, and Sabay; which last was at that time lord of Goa. This prince deceasing about the time when Albuquerque formed his design against that city, in 1510, Kufo Hidalkan possessed himself thereof, and put it into the hands of his son Ismael.
