Bengal Sultanate–Jaunpur Sultanate War

The Bengal Sultanate–Jaunpur Sultanate War was a conflict between the Bengal Sultanate and the Jaunpur Sultanate in the Indian subcontinent. The conflict ended after diplomatic pressure from the Timurid Empire and the Ming Empire.

Background
The Jaunpur Sultanate challenged the rule of Raja Ganesha who usurped the throne of Bengal after the overthrowing the Ilyas Shahi dynasty. Raja Ganesha was later removed as a result. But his son later took the throne and converted to Islam.

Conflict
Ibrahim Shah of Jaunpur continued to attack the Bengal Sultanate under Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah.

Foreign mediation
A diplomat in the court of Shahrukh Mirza recorded that the Timurid ruler of Herat intervened during the Bengal-Jaunpur conflict after a request from the Sultan of Bengal. The record speaks of Shahrukh Mirza "directing the ruler of Jaunpur to abstain from attacking the King of Bengal, or to take the consequence upon himself. To which the intimation of the Jaunpur ruler was obedient, and desisted from his attacks upon Bengal". Records from Ming China state that the Yongle Emperor also mediated between Jaunpur and Bengal after the Bengali ambassador in his Peking court complained of the conflict.

Aftermath
The conflict resulted in peace between Bengal and Jaunpur. In 1494, Jaunpur Sultan Husayn Shah Sharqi took shelter in Bengal due to attacks from the Delhi Sultanate.
