Sen Dynasty (from 1150 AD to the early part of the 13th century)

During the reign of King Vijay Sen the rule of the Sen Dynasty began in this part of Bengal and on the district of Jessore.King Vijay Sen was the third king of Sen Dynasty (1097-1160).The foundation stone of the Great Empire was made in his hand.He won the Bengal.But it was not possible to know the exact time of conquering its eastern Bengal (Samatata) from the Barman rulers.Probably he established authority over Jessore district during the last days of his rule.His successor Vallal Sen (1160-1178) and Laxman Sen (1178-1206) maintained their authority over the district.  During the reign of Lakkhmn Sen, 1204 AD, the famous Muslim invasion of Bengal started.Shihab Uddin Muhammad Ghurir's commander Malik Ikhtiyar Uddin Muhammad bin Bakhtiar Khalji attacked Bangal during this time.When Bakattiyar Khilji reached Lakkhmn Sen's capital Nadia with his army, King Lakkhmn Sen was eating his lunch.After hearing the news of the arrival of the Muslim army, he fled to Bikrampur with barefoot from his capital.Until his death in 1204, he governed  there.

The Muslim Era

In 1204 the beginning of the rule of Muslim  through the conquest of Bakhtiyar Khilji's Nadia.But the Muslim empire was limited to a few small terrain around Lakhnavati.Thus  only after the conquest of Nadia Jashore  did not come under the Muslim rulers of Lakhnakhbati. Sultan Ghiyasuddin Iwaz Khilji (1213-1২7) is the first ruler of Lakkhnabati who initiated the expansion to the South and East Muslim empire.But during his reign and  Jessore district was included to Lokkhnaborti. During the latter part of the 13th century AD  under the rule of Mughis Uddin Tughral (1268-1281) this district came under the rule of Lakhnavati.This information is available from the statement given by Sir JN Sarkar.He said in his book_

"The power of the Seans were on the verge of extinction in the second half of thirtenth century on account of Muslims attacks from west..the Muslim possessions in Bengal included at least some portions of East Bengal (Bangladesh)... [Source :Sir JN Sarkar ;History of Bengal.Voll-II,page-57]"

Delhi's authority on the district of Jessore was established during the reign of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban (1266-1287 AD).Lakhnavati Governor Sultan Mughis Uddin Tughral ruled this district till his death in 1281. He was the last and the greatest King who had been in the seat of power from a little slave to the power of Bengal.But his decision to declare independence from the Delhi rulers resulted in his defeat.

Ilias Shahi ruled (1342-1414 AD and 1442-1486 AD)

During the rule of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, the statewide revolt was widely spreaded.As a result, his authority began to decline gradually.During this time the entire Lakhnavarti kingdom was divided into three sections.Fakhruddin, Ilias and Alisha governed the eastern, southern and western parts separately.Later in 1342 when Iliyas Shah established authority over the Lokkhnaborti Jessore district went under Lokkhnavarti again.Thus a new chapter in history began with the ascendancy of Ilyas Shah on Lakhnavati throne.He got the title of Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah.

Sultan Shamsuddin Ilyas brought together the entire Muslim Bengal under a monarchy and in 1357 he remained in power until his death.His successors are Sikandar Shah (1357-1392), Ghiyasuddin Azam Shah (1392-11410), Shamsuddin Hamza (1410-1411), Shihabuddin Badsha (1412-1414) and Alauddin Firoz Shah (1414 to the rise of King Ganesha ).During this time they were in the possession of Jessore district constituted as a part of Lokhnavarti.In 1487 the slave tribe started the reign of the fall of the Ilias Shahi dynasty.By the year 1493 the Das kings kept their rights here.After the fall of the slavesJessore went under the control of Alauddin Husain Shah.By 1538 Hussain Shahi dynasty maintained their rule.
