The latter did not approve of this connection, because the Mirza was very old and afflicted with paralysis and gout, and the power of his children would not be such that, when they succeeded their father, they would be able to cope with Shahi Beg Khán. Nevertheless, as it had been arranged, he contracted the marriage. In the meanwhile, Shah Begum, as has been mentioned above, went from Moghulistán to Samarkand with a petition for Shahi Beg Khan. The latter was intent on the conquest of Khwárizm, which was a dependency of Mirza Sultán Husain. It was on Shahi Beg Khán's warning that my father had fled to Khorásán, and Sultan Said Khán had taken refuge in Moghulistán. Most of the Moghul chiefs had gone to the kingdom of the next world, while some had been thrown into confinement. Shah Begum was banished and sent to Khorásán. The rest of the Moghuls accompanied the expedition into Khwarizm. - [Previous: 117.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.1) - [Next: 117.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.3) - [Up: 117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.2) · Pramāṇa
