Sheroyah Khan, son of Sher Afkan Khan. The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 397 - **Language:** English ### [397](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.397) Sher Afkan Khán was the son of Qúch Beg. Qúch Beg served under Humáyún, and was killed in the successful attempt made by several grandees to save Maryam Makání, Akbar’s mother, after the fatal battle of Chausá (vide No. 96, p. 410). When Humáyún fled to Persia, Sher Afkan remained with Mírzá Kámrán in Kábul; but he joined the emperor on his return from Írán, and was made governor of Qalát. Later he received Zahák-Bámiyán as jágír, but went again over to Kámrán. Humáyún, soon after, captured and killed him. Sheroyah Khán served at first under Mun’im (No. 11) in Bengal and Orísá. In the 26th year, he was appointed to accompany Prince Murád to Kábul. In the 28th year, he served under ’Abdurrahím (No. 29) in Gujrát, and was present in the battle of Sarkích (Akbarnámah III., 408, 422). In the 30th year, he served under Matlab Khán (No. 83) against Jalálah Táríkí (p. 403). In the 39th year, he was made a Khán, and was appointed to Ajmír. According to the Tabaqát, he was a Hazárí in 1001. - [Previous: 396](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.396) - [Next: 398](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.398) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.397](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.397) · Pramāṇa
