The History of Humāyūn (Gulbadan Begam) 73: LXXIV Gul-rang Begam Miran-shahi (No. 44)

73

The rose hued princess
Daughter of Babar and Dil-dar and her mother’s first child. She was born in Khost, probably between 1511 and 1515, during Babar’s exile from Kabul after the Mughal rebellion. She was given in marriage to Isan-timur Chaghatdi Mughal, her father’s first cousin, during the last days of her father’s life and in 1530 Mah-chuchak is last mentioned in H. 943, and of Gul-rang there is no certain record after circa H. 941, when she was at Gwalior (26a). (Cf. App. on Salima.)
Gul-badan, 6b, 10a, 18a, 21a, 24a, 26b.
Gul-rukh Begam (?) Begchik Mughal.
The chequered princess.
Wife of Babar; mother of Kamran, 'Askari, Shah-rukh, Sultan, and Gul-'izar. Outside Kabul there was in the tomb of Gul-rukh Begam (51b). This may well have been hers.
She is perhaps a Begchik. This may be judged from the following notes:
(1) Kamran married a daughter of Sultan 'Ali Mirza taghai (Mems., 388).
(2) Humayun married a daughter of Yadgar taghai (Mems., 438).
Amongst contemporary Begchik amirs are Sultan 'Ali Mirza and Yadgar Mirza.
If one follows the recorded incidents of Sultan 'Ali's life, one sees that Gul-rukh may be his sister.
In 903 (1497-8) he is ordered to drown Khalil Khan (T.R. 110). Having done so, he took refuge with his brother in Samarkand.
Khan who had reinforced Andijan under Babar’s orders, to Kazan.
(c) In 920H (1514) he accompanied Sa'id in his conquest of Kashghar, and at this date is named amongst the Begchik amirs of the Kashghar army (l.c., 308, 326).
(d) In 926H. (1519) he waited on Babar, and is styled taghai of Kamran (Mems., 274). Babar says here: ‘Sultan 'Ali Mirza, the maternal uncle of Kamran (Ilminsky, 311, Kamran-ning taghai), who in the year in which I passed over from Khost to Kabul had proceeded to Kashghar, as has been mentioned, waited on me here.’
Babar must several times have passed from Khost (Andar-ab) to Kabul. The Tarikh-i-rashidi fixes the occasion here alluded to as in 920H. (1514). This was Babar's latest and last crossing of the northern passes to Kabul.
By thus bringing the statements of the Memoirs and the Tarikh-i-rashidi together, Sultan 'Ali Mirza Begchik is fairly well identified with Sultan 'Ali Mirza, taghai of Kamran.
(e) In 935H. (1528) Kamran married his daughter (Mems., 388).
