Nasir ud din Mahmud Shah (reigned: 1246–1265) was the eighth sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate (Slave dynasty). He was son of Shams ud Din Iltutmish (1211-36). The Tabaqat-i Nasiri, written by the court historian Minhaj-i-Siraj, is dedicated to Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud. It is the only available contemporary source of history of his reign and thus undoubtedly the most reliable source. He ascended to the throne of Delhi Sultanate in 1246 at the tender age of 17 or 18 after the disposition of Masud Shah. He succeeded Ala ud din Masud after the chiefs replaced Masud when they felt that he began to behave as a tyrant.
