Ghiyasuddin Jalal Shah (Bengali: গিয়াসউদ্দীন জলাল শাহ, Persian: غیاث الدین جلال شاه) was the Sultan of Bengal from 1561 to 1563.[1] He was the brother and successor of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Bahadur Shah II.[2]
Jalal was born into a Sunni Muslim family of noblemen. Emperor Islam Shah Suri had appointed his father, Muhammad Khan Sur, as the governor of Bengal. However, Muhammad later declared independence from Delhi, effectively establishing a new dynasty to an independent Bengal Sultanate. He was later succeeded by his elder son known as Ghiyasuddin Bahadur Shah II.
