Shah Jahan II
Shah Jahan II , also Rafi ud-Daulah (born 1698 ; died September 19, 1719 in Delhi ) was the 11th Grand Mughal of India in 1719.
Live and act
His predecessor Farrukh Siyar was murdered in 1719 by a palace intrigue of the Sayyids, two brothers who served as commanders at the Mughal court and who had risen to become a major power factor at the court. After the death of Rafi Ul-Daryat, Rafi ud-Daulah came to the throne on June 6, 1719, supported by the Sayyids. But their opponent Muhammad Shah prevailed in a bloody power struggle against Shah Jahan II, who was murdered on September 19, 1719, and other heir to the throne, and later had the Sayyids murdered.
