The Rashīdī History 83.3

83.3

He had six daughters. He gave one of them to Sultan Masud Kabuli, who was a descendant of Amir Timur. Another he gave to Sultan Abu Said Mirza, who had, by her, a son named Mirza Aba Bakr. The Mirza, after the death of his father, engaged in war with Sultan Husain Mirza, and caused much disturbance in his kingdom (all of which is related in the Histories of Mir Khwand and of Khwand Mir, of Herat). A third daughter he gave to Ibrahim Barlas, who, by her, had Jahangir Barlas, who at the end of the Chaghatai rule [daulat] became chief minister. His fourth daughter, whose name was Shah Begum, he sent to Yunus Khan, at the request of Sayyid Zia-ud-Din Kashghari. He gave his fifth daughter to Sayyid Shah Buzurg Arhangi (who will be mentioned below) ; and the sixth to Shaikh Abdullah Barlas, who, by her, had Sultan Vais Barlas, Mizrab Barlas, and Sultan Sanjar (all of whom will be spoken of in their proper places); they are moreover mentioned in the Histories of Mir Khwand and Khwand Mir, of Herat. In short, Sayyid Zia-ud-Din brought Shah Begum back with him to Kashghar, and delivered her over to the Khan. Yunus Khan had two sons and two daughters by Shah Begum. The eldest of all was Sultan Mahmud Khan. He was born in 868. Next to him came Sultan Ahmad Khan (whom I shall mention separately). The two daughters were Sultan Nigar Khanim and Daulat Sultan Khanim (of these also I shall have occasion to speak hereinafter).
