For a time he was his father's Governor in Herī. He died before his father, leaving no child. Muz̤affar-i-ḥusain Mīrzā was another; he was his father's favourite son, but though this favourite, had neither accomplishments nor character. It was Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā's over-fondness for this son that led his other sons into rebellion. The mother of Shāh-i-gharīb Mīrzā and of Muz̤affar-i-ḥusain Mīrzā was \[Sidenote: Fol. 166b.\] Khadīja Begīm, a former mistress of Sl. Abū-sa\`īd Mīrzā by whom she had had a daughter also, known as Āq (Fair) Begīm. Two other sons were Abū'l-ḥusain Mīrzā and Kūpuk (var. Kīpik) Mīrzā whose name was Muḥammad Muḥsin Mīrzā; their mother was Laṯīf-sulṯān Āghācha. - [Previous: 911.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.3.7) - [Next: 911.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.2) - [Up: 911.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.1) · Pramāṇa
