Ala-ud-din Bahman Shah vs Richard of Cornwall

Ala-ud-din Bahman Shah led a rebellion of Deccani nobles against the Tughlaq dynasty, establishing the independent Bahmani Sultanate. This marked the beginning of a new political entity in the Deccan region.

Ala-ud-din Bahman Shah was crowned as the first sultan of the Bahmani Sultanate at Gulbarga. He established the capital at Gulbarga and began consolidating control over the Deccan plateau.

Ala-ud-din Bahman Shah launched military campaigns against the Vijayanagara Empire, capturing territories in the Raichur Doab. These conflicts established the Bahmani Sultanate as a major power in southern India.

Ala-ud-din Bahman Shah suppressed rebellions by local Hindu chiefs and rival Muslim factions, securing the borders of the Bahmani Sultanate. He established a stable administrative framework for the new state.

Richard of Cornwall was elected King of Germany by a faction of prince-electors, opposing Alfonso X of Castile. This election was part of the Great Interregnum, with Richard receiving support from the English crown and the Papacy.

Richard of Cornwall was crowned King of Germany in Aachen by the Archbishop of Cologne. His coronation was contested by Alfonso X, and Richard's authority was largely confined to the Rhineland and parts of southern Germany.

Richard of Cornwall returned to England after spending several years in Germany. His departure weakened his influence in the Holy Roman Empire, and he never returned, leaving the German throne contested until the end of the Great Interregnum.

Richard of Cornwall died at Berkhamsted Castle in England. His death ended his claim to the German throne, and he was succeeded by Rudolf of Habsburg, who ended the Great Interregnum.
