Husseyn Langah I

Husseyn Langah or Husayn Shah Langah I (Persian: حُسین لنگاہ اَوّل Huṣaīn Langāh Awwal) was the second Sultan of Langah Sultanate, who reigned from 1469 until 1498. He founded colleges of education in communities like Tulamba and a number of the Baloch tribes settled in the sultanate during his reign. After successfully capturing Chiniot, Kahror Pakka and Shorkot, he repulsed an attack by the Delhi Sultanate. He abdicated in favour of his son, who reigned as Mahmud Shah.

Reign 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.
