39

This Begam was a daughter of Mīrzā Ulugh Beg Kābulī, who was King of Kabul and known as Kābulī. She was Babar’s first cousin, and may be that daughter of her father who married Muhammad Ma‘sūm Mīrzā (p. 262 n.). Gul-badan styles her *‘amma*, paternal aunt, of Humāyūn; and so she and he were first cousins, once removed. She was at the Mystic Feast in December, 1531.
