After Muhammad's death in 1206 without an heir, Qutb-ud-din fought off rivals to take possession of Muhammad's Indian empire. He established his capital first at Lahore , and later at Delhi , where he started building the Qutb Complex . Qutb-ud-din died accidentally in 1210 , and after a succession struggle, Iltutmish , another Turkish ex-slave, emerged as Sultan. Iltutmish married Qutb-ud-din's daughter, and all but one of the later sultans of the dynasty were his descendants, including his daughter, Razia, who reigned for four years. Sultan Balban was also an ex-slave, who commanded the armies of Sultan Nasir ud din, and kept the Mongol s at bay, eventually securing the throne for himself. After the brief reigns of Balban's grandson and great-grandson, the Slave dynasty was overthrown by Jalal-ud-din Feroz Khalji of the Khalji Dynasty , who had established themselves in Bihar and Bengal in Muhammad Ghori's reign.
