Shahāb-ud-Dawla Mawdūd (Persian: شهاب‌الدوله مودود; died 1050), known as Mawdud of Ghazni (مودود غزنوی), was a sultan of the Ghaznavids from 1041 – 1050. He seized the throne of the sultanate from his uncle, Muhammad of Ghazni, in revenge for the murder of his father, Mas'ud I of Ghazni. His brother Majdud in Lahore did not recognize him as sultan, but his sudden death paved the way for Mawdud to exercise control over the eastern portion of the Ghaznavid Empire. Mawdud inherited an empire whose entire western half was overrun by the Seljuk Empire and was battling to continue existing. Read more on Wikipedia
