Husseyn Langah was the son of Rai Sahra Langah, styled Qutbu'd-Din, the founder and ruler of the
Langah Sultanate. He gained the throne on the death of his father in 1469. At the start of his reign, he undertook military campaigns in
Punjab and captured
Chiniot,
Kahror Pakka and
Shorkot. However, he was soon dealing with a succession crisis. Yousaf Qureshi, whom his father had supplanted, had found refuge with the ruler of the
Delhi Sultanate and persuaded the army of the Sultanate to attack Multand to help him regain his throne. Husseyn successfully repulsed the attack, which was led by Tatar Khan and
Barbak Shah. Eventually, he signed a peace treaty with
Sikander Lodhi and abdicated in 1498 in favour of his son and successor, Budhan Khan, who assumed the title Sultan Mahmud Shah I. Husseyn died in 1502. The reign of Sultan Husseyn I is considered to be the most illustrious of the Langah Sultans. ==References==
