The stability of the previous reign continues, and Jahangir (r. 1605-1627) — more the aesthete and less the man of action than his father—is the right person to enjoy it. Meanwhile drama is provided by the rivalries which surround the emperor, especially between his wife and son.
Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658) was something of an enigma.
After murdering several relatives to secure the throne for himself, he built
the world's most famous monument to love, the Taj Mahal.
