Abū-sa\`īd Mīrzā and by him had had a daughter, Āq Begīm; after his defeat (873 AH.-1468 AD.) she betook herself to Herī where Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā took her, made her a great favourite, and promoted her to the rank of Begīm. Very dominant indeed she became later on; she it was wrought Muḥ. Mūmin Mīrzā's death;\[1052\] she in chief it was caused Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā's sons to rebel against him. She took herself for a sensible woman but was a silly chatterer, may also have been a heretic. Of her were \[Sidenote: Fol. 169b.\] born Shāh-i-gharīb Mīrzā and Muz̤affar-i-ḥusain Mīrzā. Apāq Begīm was another;\[1053\] she had no children; that Pāpā Āghācha the Mīrzā made such a favourite of was her foster-sister. Being childless, Apāq Begīm brought up as her own the children of Pāpā Āghācha. She nursed the Mīrzā admirably when he was ill; none of his other wives could nurse as she did. The year I came into Hindūstān (932 AH.)\[1054\] she came into Kābul from Herī and I shewed her all the honour and respect I could. While I was besieging Chandīrī (934 AH.) news came that in Kābul she had fulfilled God's will.\[1055\] One of the Mīrzā's mistresses was Laṯīf-sulṯān Āghācha of the Chār-shamba people\[1056\]; she became the mother of Abū'l-muḥsin Mīrzā and Kūpuk (or Kīpik) Mīrzā (\_i.e.\_ Muḥammad Muḥsin). - [Previous: 911.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.4.8) - [Next: 911.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.5.2) - [Up: 911.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.5.1) · Pramāṇa
