926.2.3

Shāh Ismā`īl _Ṣafawī_, ruling down to Rajab 19th 930 AH. (May 24th 1524 AD.) and then succeeded by his son T̤ahmāsp _aet._ 10. Kūchūm (Kūchkūnjī) Khān, Khāqān of the Aūzbegs, Shaibānī's successor, now in possession of Transoxiana. Sulṯān Sa`īd Khān _Chaghatāī_, with head-quarters in Kāshghar, a ruler amongst the Mughūls but not their Khāqān, the supreme Khānship being his elder brother Manṣūr's. Shāh Shujā' Beg _Arghūn_, who, during the period, at various times held Qandahār, Shāl, Mustang, Sīwīstān, and part of Sind. He died in 930 AH. (1524 AD.) and was succeeded by his son Ḥasan who read the _khuṯba_ for Bābur. Khān Mīrzā _Mīrānshāhī_, who held Badakhshān from Bābur, with head-quarters in Qūndūz; he died in 927 AH. (1520 AD.) and was succeeded in his appointment by Humāyūn _aet._ 13. Muḥammad-i-zamān _Bāī-qarā_ who held Balkh perhaps direct from Bābur, perhaps from Ismā`īl through Bābur. `Alā'u'd-dīn `Ālam Khān _Lūdī_, brother of the late Sulṯān Sikandar _Lūdī_ and now desiring to supersede his nephew Ibrāhīm. Daulat Khān _Yūsuf-khail_ (as Bābur uniformly describes him), or _Lūdī_ (as other writers do), holding Lāhor for Ibrāhīm _Lūdī_ at the beginning of the period. _SOURCES FOR THE EVENTS OF THIS GAP_
