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.
