Gujarat Sultanate was a late medieval kingdom established in the early 15th Century. It was established by Zafar Khan (son of Sadharan, a Tanka Rajput) in the year 1396. He was appointed as a Governor of Gujarat by Nasir-ud-din Muhammad Bin Tughluq IV in the year 1391 AD.

Shams Al-Din Muzaffar Shah II ruled Gujarat Sultanate from 1511 CE to 1525 CE. He succeeded Nasir Al-Din Mahmud I.
