She was at the Mystic Feast in 1531.

Gul-badan, 25b.

(Jūlī Begam, Chūlī, q.v.)

XCI. Khadīja Begam.

Presumably she was named after Muḥammad's first wife.

She was first a slave* of Sulān Abū-sa'īd Mīrzā, and upon his death in 873H. (1469) she betook her­self to Harāt and there became the wife of Sulān Ḥusain Bāyqrā.

She had a daughter, known as Āq Begam, by Abū-sa'īd, and two sons, Shāh Gharīb and Muaffar Ḥusain, by her marriage with Ḥusain.

Here is an instance where the conferring of a title is mentioned. Bābar says that Ḥusain was passionately fond of her and that he raised her to the rank of begam; also that she managed him entirely. To her are attributed the intrigues and rebellion which ruined Ḥusain's family. She acquired more influence than any other of his wives, and it was consequently round her surviving son Muaffar Ḥusain, that adherents gathered after his father's death. She forced on the joint-kingship which ex­cited Bābar's ridicule. Mīrzā Ḥaidar when speaking of the death of Jahāngīr Mīrān-shāhī, said that he was generally reported to have been poisoned in his wine by Khadīja Begam after her old fashion.

In 912H. (1506-7) Bābar saw her in Harāt, and he was there unlawfully entertained by her at a wine-party. When Shaibānī conquered the city in 913H. she was cast down from her high estate and given up to be plundered, and was treated as one of Shaibānī's meanest slaves.

XCII. Khadīja-sulān Begam Chaghatāī Mughal.

Fourth daughter of Sulān Aḥmad Khān Chaghatāī. After her father's death in 909H. (1503-4), Mīrzā Abā-bakr Dughlāt took possession of his capital, Aksu, in Farghāna, and with it of Khadīja-sulān, then a child. He however, says Mīrzā Ḥaidar, treated her kindly and when she was of age, he gave her in marriage to his son Jahāngīr who was her second cousin. She accompanied her husband to her full-brother Sa'īd's court, shortly after 920H. (1514), and while in Kāshghar, Jahāngīr was murdered by an unknown hand, in Yangī-ḥiṣār. She then remained, respected and honoured, in her brother Sa'īd's family circle. In 923H. (1517) she was married to Shāh Muḥammad Sulān Chaghatāī, a grandson of Sulān Maḥmūd Khān, through Muḥammad, the only son of Maḥmūd who survived the massacre of sulāns by Shaibānī. The marriage of one of Khadīja's brothers, Aiman, was celebrated at the same time.

When Rashīd succeeded his father Sa'īd, in Kāsh-ghar (939H.—July, 1533) Khadīja was badly treated by him. She was then ill and confined to bed, but Rashīd banished her and her children and made her start on the weary journey for Badakhshān. She died on the road after much hardship of travel. She left four children, Ismā'īl, Ishāq, Ya'qūb, and Muḥtarima. They went on to Kābul, and were there received with fatherly kindness by their uncle, Isān-tīmūr.

XCIII. Khadīja-sulān Begam Mīrān-shāhī. (No. 6.)

Daughter of Sulān Abū-sa'īd Mīrzā Mīrān-shāhī and paternal aunt of Bābar. I have not ascer­tained the name of her husband. She went to India in 934H. (1527), arriving in November, with Fakhr-jahān and their children. She planned to return with her sister and Bābar took leave of them both on Muḥarram 5th, 935H. (September 20th, 1528), but various business detained her and Bābar paid her another of his dutiful visits on October 9th. When or if she returned to Kābul is not said, but she was at the Mystic Feast in Āgra in 1531.

XCIV. Khāl-dār anaga.

The nurse with a mole; khāl-dār, mole-marked.

Mother of Sa'ādat-yār kūka.

Akbar-nāma, Bib. Ind. ed., I. 44.

XCV. Khānam Begam. (No. 18.)

Daughter of Āq Begam; grand-daughter of Abū-sa'īd Mīrān-shāhī. The ‘Khānam’ may indicate that she is a Chaghatāī chief's child.

Gul-badan, 24b.

(Khānam, Muḥtarima, q.v.)

XCVI. Khānish āghā Khwārizmī.

Daughter of Jūjūq Mīrzā Khwārizmī; wife of Humāyūn; mother of Ibrāhīm who died as an infant. Bāyazīd calls her child Muḥammad Farrūkh-fāl, but Gul-badan and Abū'l-faẓl are against him. Farrūkh-fāl was the child of Māh-chūchak. Ibrāhīm was born on the same day as Muḥammad Ḥakīm, i.e., Jumāda I. 15th, 960H. (April 19th, 1553).

XCVII. Khān Sulān Khānam and Sulānam Dughlāt.

Both these names appear to be titles, and not personal.

Daughter of Sanīz Mīrzā Dughlāt and Jamāl āghā; full-sister of Abā-bakr.

She was a woman of life-long piety and devotion to good works. Perhaps for this reason her brother who seems to have been an incarnation of unjust cruelty, treated her with studied barbarity, as a con­sequence of which she died in torture and suffering.

Tār. Rash., E. & R., 88, 258.

XCVIII. Khān-zāda Begam Bāyqrā. (No. 16.)

The khān-born princess; Turkī khān, and Pers. zāda, born.

Gul-badan says she is a daughter of Sulān Mas'ūd Mīrzā Mīrān-shāhī, and through a daughter grandchild of Pāyanda Muḥammad (sic) Sulān Begam, paternal great-aunt of Humāyūn. Bābar names no such mar­riage of a daughter of Pāyanda. ‘The second of the daughters [of Pāyanda] was Kīchak Begam [whose name is probably a sobriquet]. Sulān Mas'ūd Mīrzā was extremely attached to her, but whatever efforts he made, Pāyanda-sulān Begam, having an aversion to him, would not consent to the match. She was after­wards ’ (Turkī sūngrā, P. de C. dans la suite) ‘married to Mullā Khwāja.’

A daughter of Ḥusain Bāyqrā and of Bābā āghācha, whose name was Sa'ādat-bakht and title Begam Sulān, was married to Mas'ūd after his blinding. Her daughter might be fitly described as of inferior rank to the great begams. Such a description is given by Bābar of ‘Khān-zāda, daughter of Sulān Mas'ūd Mīrzā.’ Ḥusain and Pāyanda's daughter would certainly rank as equal in birth to the daughters of Abū-sa'īd, since she was a full Tīmūrid.

The ‘extreme attachment’ of Mas'ūd to Kīchak fits Musalmān marriage better than Musalmān courtship. It may be that, spite of Pāyanda's opposition, Mas'ūd married Kīchak. The ‘afterwards’ of the Memoirs (supra) and the de la suite of Pavet de Courteille seem to demand some more definite antecedent than Mas'ūd's attachment. Moreover, this presumably persisted with his wish to marry Kīchak.
