Jahangir
1569 CE–1627 CE · Agra
Jahangir (reigned 1605-1627) was the fourth Mughal emperor, son of Akbar, who largely continued his father's policies while presiding over a court renowned for its refinement. A noted connoisseur and patron of painting, he oversaw a flourishing of Mughal miniature art and left a candid memoir, the Jahangirnama. His reign received the first English royal embassy, under Sir Thomas Roe, seeking trading rights for the East India Company, and his queen Nur Jahan came to wield exceptional influence in government.
