The final suppression of this rebellion relieved Akbar’s mind of a load of care. For the reasons already given the Uzbegs were completely alienated from him and irreconcilably disaffected. A party at court sympathised with them and they apparently never abandoned the hope of being able one day to overthrow Akbar and to establish a ruler more in sympathy with them. It is not impossible that Khān Zamān’s descent from Shaibān of the Golden Horde, Khān of the Kirghiz Steppes, suggested to him his own fitness for empire.
