Intelligence of the murder of the King having reached Ahmud Hubeeb, who was advancing with the army, he retreated to Dehly. Mullika Jehan, the Dowager-queen, imprudently, and without consulting the chiefs, placed the crown on the head of her youngest son, the Prince Kuddur Khan, entitled Rookn-ood-Deen Ibraheem; the heir apparent, Arkully Khan, his elder brother, being then at Mooltan. The Queen accompanied the young prince from Kelookery to Dehly, and seated him on the throne in the green palace, though he was yet a boy, and altogether unacquainted with affairs of state: at the same time, she divided the provinces among her partisans. Arkully Khan, the real heir, who possessed all the qualities of a king, was greatly perplexed by these proceedings, but thought proper, for the present, to remain at Mooltan. - [Previous: 36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.36) - [Next: 37.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.1.2) - [Up: 37.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.1.1) · Pramāṇa
