When Nur jahan died?
Begum Nur Jahan was the twentieth and favourite wife of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, who was her second husband – and the most famous Empress of the Mughal Empire. The story of the couple’s infatuation for each other and the relationship that abided between them is the stuff of many (often apocryphal) legends. She remains historically significant for the sheer amount of imperial authority she wielded – the true “power behind the throne,” as Jehangir was battling serious addictions to alcohol and opium throughout his reign – and is known as one of the most powerful women who ruled India with an iron fist.
