Rafi Ul-Darjat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rafi-ul Darajat, son of Rafi-us-shaan (brother of Azim ush Shan) was the 10th mughal emperor. He succeeded Furrukhsiyar in 1719, being proclaimed Badshah by the Sayyid brothers. He was a controversial figure and was deposed shortly afterwards and killed at the behest of the Sayyid brothers in 1719 at Delhi because one of the sayyads fell in love with his wife.
