Muhammad Husain Mirza Dughlat, of the Mongol Dughlats clan, also Muhammad Hussain Mirza Kurkan, was the eldest son of Hyder Mirza, Doghlat, Amir of Kashgar.[1] Muhammad Husain Mirza married Khub Nigar Khanim (b. 1463), the younger sister of Babur's mother Qutlugh Nigar Khanum, so he was an uncle of Babur by alliance.[2]
Circa 1501, Muhammad Husain Mirza was the ruler of the town of Auratipa.[2] Babur, looking for a fief to govern, asked his uncle Mahmud Khan of Tashkent for some lands, so that "that my uncle in his condescension and graciousness would grant province or district". Mahmud Khan promised Babur the town of Auratipa, but Muhammad Husain Mirza refused to cede the town to Babur.[2]
By 1504, Babur had taken control of Kabul, Muhammad Husain Mirza banded with Sultan Sanjar and Mirza Khan to conspire against Babur in Kabul in April–May 1507.[3][4] The Baburnama relates relates how he got entangled in bedsheets while fleeing from Babur.[5][6] Babur released him due to their family connection, but Muhammad Husain Mirza was finally killed in 1508 by the Uzbek leader Shaybani Khan.[1][5]
He was the father of Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat, a high officer of the Mughal emperor Babur, and creator of the Tarikh-i-Rashidi, a history of Central Asia.[1] In his Tarikh-i-Rashidi, he greatly played down his father's treacherousness towards Babur.[7]
