Jahangir Mirza (Timurid prince)

Ghiyas-ud-din Jahangir Mirza[1] (Persian: جهانگیر میرزا; 1356–1376) was a member of the Timurid dynasty and a son of its founder, the Central Asian conqueror Timur.

The Mu’izz al-Ansab (The Glorifier of Genealogies), the most important source regarding the structure of the Timurid royal family during this period, is contradictory on this point.

[5] Following the death of Tughlugh Timur, the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, control of the eastern half of his territory (an area termed Moghulistan) was seized by a noble named Qamar-ud-din Dughlat.

Though initially defiant, the ruler of the kingdom, Yusuf Sufi, eventually submitted and offered his niece Khanzada Begum in marriage to Jahangir.

[9] The following year, Khanzada was sent to Timur's capital of Samarqand with a large procession carrying gifts, including gems, precious metals, silks and tapestries.
