Muhammad of Ghor
1144 CE–1206 CE · Firozkoh (Jam)
Mu'izz ad-Din Muhammad of Ghor, often called Muhammad Ghuri, was a ruler of the Ghurid dynasty who, jointly with his brother Ghiyath ad-Din, expanded Ghurid power from Afghanistan into northern India. After a defeat at the First Battle of Tarain in 1191, he returned to win the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192, defeating the Rajput ruler Prithviraj Chauhan and opening the way to Ghurid control of the Gangetic plain. His conquests, carried forward by his slave-generals, laid the foundation for lasting Muslim rule in South Asia and the later Delhi Sultanate. He was assassinated in 1206.
