320 MEDIEVAL INDIA Mohammedan money ; though the popular story of her having issued the famous Zodiacal Mohrs, when the emperor allowed her the privilege of mint-mistress for a single day, is without foundation. Her un- limited dominion over her husband, who loved her with a supreme devotion, is the more remarkable since she was no longer young when he married her in 1610, and Indian widows of thirty-four are usually widows indeed. This gifted woman aided by her subtle brother, Asaf Khan, pract...ically ruled the empire during the greater part of Jahangir's reign, much to his satisfaction ; but although at first her influence kept him straight and benefited the empire, her overweening power, covetousness, and unscru- pulous favouritism aroused bitter jealousies ; and to the resulting intrigues were due the troubles that darkened the closing days of that self-indulgent emperor, the weakening of the old martial spirit of the Moghuls, the corruption and cupidity of the court, and the rebellion of Jahangir's son.
