Granted the governorship of Fars by his grandfather, 'Abd-Allah found his position threatened by his cousin Sultan Muhammad during the 1447 succession crisis that followed Shah Rukh's death. He decided to abandon the city. As a supporter of Ulugh Beg , he was imprisoned by 'Abd Al-Latif following the latter's rise to power. When 'Abd al-Latif was murdered, he was released and made ruler of Samarkand , for which he was forced to lavish money upon the troops that supported him. Despite this, he did not enjoy widespread popularity. During his relatively short reign, he suffered a revolt created by Sultan Muhammad's brother 'Ala' al-Daula, which did not seriously threaten him. On the other hand, a rising initated by Abu Sa'id , who was then residing in Bukhara , proved to be more dangerous. Marching from Tashkent to Samarkand with the support of the Uzbeks , Abu Sa'id defeated 'Abd-Allah and executed him in 1451 , taking his place on the throne. |
