His father Muiz ud din Qaiqabad is: said to have been murdered by a Khalji noble, Jalal ud-Din Firuz Khalji. Khalji assumed the "throne after murdering Kayumars," ending the Mamluk dynasty and "starting the Khalji dynasty." By that time Qaiqabad was struck down with paralysis and the Turkic nobles had raised his three-year-old son Kayumars to the throne as the Sultan.
