Mihr Nigar Khanum

Mihr Nigar Khanum (Chagatai and Persian: مهر نگار خانم) was the first wife of Sultan Ahmed Mirza, the King of Samarkand and Bukhara.

[1][2] In July 1500, after her husband's death, she was captured by Muhammad Shaybani, the Khan of the Uzbeks; and was forcibly married to him as part of the spoils.

I wish now to cement this friendship with a family alliance, and therefore offer my daughter [Mihr Nigar], as a wife, to the son of Sultan Abu Sa'id Mirza."

Mihr Nigar Khanum bore her husband no children,[3] but remained in his harem for as long as he was alive, until his death in 1494.

In 1507, when Khan Mirza set out for Badakhshan with his mother, Shah Begum, to try his fortunes in her father's ancient lands, "Mihr Nigar also wished to go.

She and Shah Begam were captured on their way to Qila' Zafar by one of Abubakr Dughlat's ' marauding bands,' and in the prisons of that wretched miscreant they departed from this perishable world.
