The Emperor conferred upon each of these a suitable jagir, and raised them to the rank of nobility. They attended in the train of His Majesty, and performed the duties of service. When the Emperor returned from his campaign against Jaunpur, they were at their jagirs in Sambal. At the time of the Emperor’s march to Lahore against Mirza Hakim, the brothers Ulugh Mirza and Shah Mirza combined with their uncles (nephews?) Ibrahim Husain Mirza and Muhammad Husain Mirza, and breaking out into rebellion, ravaged several parganas. This was an old failing in the family. Ulugh Mirza and Shah Mirza, sons of Muhammad Sultan Mirza, rose in rebellion during the reign of Humayun, and did great damage. But on each occasion their offences were overlooked.
