Court intrigues, however, including Nur Jahan's decision to have her daughter from her first marriage wed Prince Khurram's youngest brother Shahzada Shahryar and her support for his claim to the throne led to much internal division.
Khurram suspected that in his absence, Shahryar might be given promotion and he might die on the battlefield.
Shahryar begins to marry a succession of virgins only to execute each one the next morning, before she has a chance to dishonour him.
Nur Jahan married her daughter to Shahryar, Jahangir's youngest son from his other queen, in the hope of having a living male heir to the throne when Jahangir died.
