Although Lodhi dynasty was established by Bahlul lodhi in 1451, very few people know that there was also an Afghan Lodhi king before him who sat on throne of much reduced delhi sultanate for two years, from 1412-1414. He was a military leader of Tuqhlaqs in Doab and after end of tuqhlaq dynasty, nobles elected him to be the new king. He seemed ambitious , as shortly after becoming ruler, he led an expedition into Katehr and recieved the submission of local chiefs there. When the invading sharqi dynasty invaded kalpi, daulat khan lodhi couldnt stop them. Taking advantage of this situation, khizar khan (governor of punjab) invaded delhi. Daulat khan resisted for four months but finally surrendered. Khizar khan killed daulat khan and founded syed dynasty in 1414.
Even before this, Lodhis had ruled multan from 961 A.D to 1040. They had embraced ismaeli faith and were under fatmid caliphate. Mahmud ghaznavi defeated them.
