Answer 1

Razia Sultana was the sultan of Delhi for the period between 1236 to 1240. She was the daughter of Iltutmish. She was born in 1205 A.D.

Iltutmish was succeeded by his son, Rukn-ud-din Firoz, who proved to be most weak and incapable of leasing insurgencies in various parts of the empire. Soon he was removed from power and his sister, Razia Sultana, ascended the throne of Delhi — the only woman to ever do so – with the support of certain courtiers.
