Solution
The Sayyid dynasty (AD 1414–1451), founded by Khizr Khan under Timur’s patronage, ruled a weakened Delhi Sultanate. Claiming descent from the Prophet Muhammad, Sayyids maintained fragile control, ending when the last ruler abdicated to Bahlul Khan Lodi. Their weak rule and provincial fragmentation aided the Lodi takeover.
