The Delhi sultanate was a principal Muslim sultanate in northern India from the 13th to the 16th century. Its creation owed much to the campaigns of Muʿizz al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Sām (Muḥammad of Ghūr; brother of Sultan Ghiyāth al-Dīn of Ghūr) and his lieutenant Qutb ud-Din Aibak between 1175 and 1206 and particularly to the victories at the Battles of Taraori in 1192 and Chandawar in 1194.
