Kashmiri Sultanate
The Kashmir Sultanate, historically Latinised as the Sultanate of Cashmere, was a medieval kingdom primarily based in the Kashmir Valley, in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, between the early 14th and late 16th centuries. It was established by Rinchan Shah, a Ladakhi noble who had converted from Buddhism to Islam. After a brief interregnum by the Loharas, Shah Mir, a councillor of Rinchan, overthrew the Lohara dynasty and founded his own dynasty. The Shah Miris ruled from 1339 until they were deposed by the Chak warlords and nobles in 1561.
