Life

Sultan Awais Swati was the son of Sultan Jahangeer and the great-grandson of Sultan Pakhal Swati.

According to the books The Pathans by Olaf Caroe and Malika E Sawat by Khan Roshan Khan, Sultan Awais married Shahida Bibi, who was the sister of Yousafzai Sardar Malak Ahmed Khan.[1][2]

In the same book, It is mentioned that Shahid Bibi disclosed the secrets of Swati army barracks and then Yousafzais attacked Swat. Swati rule was overthrown by Yousafzais and Sultan Awais escaped to Nihagdara Dir and built the lahor fort there.[3]
