The Sultanate of Swāt or Swat Sultanate was a late medieval[citation needed]Dārdic[citation needed][1][unreliable source][citation needed]kingdom centred around the city of Manglawar between the 12th and 16th centuries. It was strongest of the several Dardic-speaking states[citation needed][2] in the region, encompassing whole of Malakand, Buner, Swat and Dir valleys,[3] as well as upper Hazara region.[4] During most of 15th century, the sultanate bordered Kashmir Sultanate to the east, Delhi Sultanate to the south, Timurid Empire to the west and the state of Chitral to the north. Swatis were the dominant group in the kingdom.[5] Sultan Pakhal was the first known ruler. Their last notable ruler was Sultan Awes Jahangiri,[5][4] during whose reign the Sultanate was ultimately conquered in a series of battles by Yousafza'i Pashtuns with the assistance of Mughal emperor Babur between 1510 and 1518.[6] Some accounts trace the origin of Shahmiri dynasty of Kashmir from these rulers of Swāt.[7][8]
