Sultan Iltutmishs rule lasted 25 years; Qutb -ud- he married Din's daughter, and with one exception all the later sultans of the dynasty were his descendants, including his daughter, Razia, who reigned for four years. Sultan Balban was also a former slave who commanded the armies of Sultan Nasir ud din and the Mongols held in check and eventually even gave the throne.
