Rupmati, queen of Mandu, is famous in her chaste devotion to Baz Bahadur.

Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq (reign: 1325-1350) was a very ambitious ruler. We have already learned about one of his curious schemes: the transfer of the capital to Devagiri and its desertion thereafter. According to Barani, Muhammad's third project was the introduction of a token currency, ie, copper and brass coins.

Tipu Sultan had twelve sons, at the time of his death in the 4th Anglo-Mysore war in 1799 [reference: Mir Hussain Ali Khan Kirmani]. On the capture of Srirangapatna, Tipu's sons, the Zenana and Karim Sahib, his brother, were all taken prisoners. The British restored Mysore to the Wodeyars and the Vellore fort [East India Company’s strongest fortress in the Carnatic] was selected as the place of residence of Tipu's family. A liberal salary was allowed to each of the princes. But after the Vellore Mutiny, they were exiled to Calcutta. Here is a list of Tipu's 8 eldest sons according to the Irish painter Thomas Hickey. Painting has done by an unknown artist too.

Mubariz Khan was the son of Nizam Khan, a brother of Sher Shah Suri. After murdering the young prince Firoz Shah, Mubariz Khan ascended the throne of the Sur empire at Gwalior assuming the title of Muhammad Shah Adil (r: 1555). But, he is popularly called Adali.

Salim Shah was anxious about the future of his only son Prince Firoz Shah; as he always suspected the evil intentions of his cousin Mubariz Khan [Ahmad Yadgar calls him Mamrez Khan], who was also the brother of his wife Bibi Bai.
