Following the death of Ahmed Shah in 1426, his son Nazir Shah took the throne of Bengal.[1] After 24 years of exile, Narameikhla finally regained control of the Arakanese throne in 1430 with military assistance from Bengali commanders Wali Khan and Sindhi Khan. The Bengalis who came with him formed their own settlements in the region.[9] Narameikhla ceded some territory to the Sultan of Bengal and recognised his sovereignty over the areas.
