this reproof, Sa'dat 'Ali Khan was much abashed and hung down his head. 

 A few days afterwards, he was appointed to the command of a regiment of 

 two thousand horse. 



Nur 'Ali Khan succeeded as Miyan Sahib, and he received gifts and 

 honours above all the other courtiers. He in turn was displaced by Mir 

 Jan 'Ali, and he was then transferred to the mahals of Derapur-Mangalpur 

 (now in the Cawnpur district). Jan 'Ali's father had been adopted by Mir 

 Fath-ullah. When the Nawab saw Jan 'Ali, he took a fancy to him and kept 

 him at his court. His title was Miyan Sahib Jan 'Ali Khan. He built 

 the masjicl on the left, as you turn out of the main bazar to drive up to the 

 Talisil in the fort. In the course of time, the Nawab transferred his favour 

 to Muhammad Koshan, a resident of Kanauj, and he becoming Miyan 

 Sahib was enriched with gifts like his predecessors. He was styled Miyan 

 Sahib Eoshan Khan Bahadur. 



Ahmad Khan's wives. 

 There were four wives : 



1. Dulhin Begam— The daughter of Sanjar Khan, Pathan, zamindar 

 of Rudain, parganah Kampil. 



2. Bdni Sdhiba — She was brought by the Nawab from the east at 

 the time of the siege of Allahabad. 



3. Bibi FaMir-un-Nissa — the sister of Karm Khan. 



4. Bibi Khairan — the mother of Muzaffar Jang and Dildaler Khan. 

 There were besides many concubines. In the above list it is difficult 



to identify the daughter of Sher Zaman Khan Dilazak of Jaunpur, who 

 was, according to the Bahoantndmah (year 1164 H), one of the wives of 

 Ahmad Khan. In that work there is a Karm Zaman Khan named as a 

 nephew of Sher Zaman Khan, so possibly the Karm Khan of the Farrukha- 

 bad books was the Begam's cousin instead of her brother. In that case the 

 Jaunpur wife would be Fakhr-un-Nissa, No. 3 of the list. 



Ahmad Khan's children. 



He had three sons and one daughter : 



1. Ifahmud Khan — He died in his father's lifetime and was buried 

 in the Bihisht Bagh. Mahmiidganj in the town of Chibramau was founded 

 by him {Kali Mae, p. 134). He left one son, Himmat Bahadur, who mar- 

 ried 'Umdah Begam, daughter of Muzaffar Jang, and died in ] 240 H 

 (August, 1824 — August, 1825), leaving one daughter, B,iya,zat-un-Nissa, who 

 was twice married, first to Imdad Husain Khan, son of Dildaler Khan ; se- 

 condly to Himmat 'Ali Khan, a younger brother of her first husband.
