Grandson of Akbar, he unsuccessfully rebelled against his father, Jehangir, in 1622, reconciled with him three years later and proclaimed himself ruler after his father's death.
He created the Taj Mahal (1632-49), in memory of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. He was imprisoned in 1657 during a power struggle between his four sons, and died in captivity.
