Khas Mahal

Khas Mahal (Persian: خاص محل), meaning "the Exquisite One of the Palace", was one of the chief wives of the Mughal emperor Jahangir.

[1] Zain Khan was the son of Khawajah Maqsud of Herat and Pija Jan Anga, foster-mother of Emperor Akbar.

[2] Khan's paternal uncle, Khawajah Hassan's daughter, Sahib Jamal had been married to Jahangir, and was the mother of his son Prince Parviz Mirza.

The marriage took place on the eve of 18 June 1596 at the house of Dowager empress Hamida Banu Begum.

Sir William Hawkins, a representative of the English East India Company noted her among Jahangir's chief wives.
