History
The present day Matli city was first established for habitation by the last Sassanian King Yazdegerd III in honour of his wife. Her name was either Mah Talat or Maha Talat, a daughter of vassal king of Sindh in the Sassanid Empire. Mirza Imam Ali Baig Afsar, Ph.D. in Sindhi in his book “Sindh Jee Azadari” with its translation into Urdu language book “Sindh and Ahle Bayt” writes that Monarchs of Sindh maintained friendly relations with Sassanid Kings. During Rai dynasty Yazdegerd III visited the present day city Matli in District Badin, Sindh. There he married a Sindhi princess with whom Yazdegerd had two daughters, namely Shahrbanu and Ghayan Banu respectively.
Matli served as the second Capital of the Soomra dynasty after their first Capital Mansura (Brahmanabad) got sacked by Mahmud of Ghazni. From here the Soomras rebelled against Ghaznavids around 1026 and freed Sindh from their rule. (See Soomra Rebellion of Tharri for more information)
