Rafi Ud-Daulat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rafi ud Daulat (رفي الدولت) also known as Shah Jahan II (شاهجهان ۲) was Mughal emperor for a brief period in 1719 AD. He succeeded his short-lived brother Rafi Ul-Darjat in that year, being proclaimed Badshah by the Saiyid Brothers. Like his brother, he also died in 1719 AD at Delhi, being deposed and killed at the behest of the Saiyid Brothers.
After his death he was succeeded by the unfortunate Nikusiyar who was a nominal sovereign (and whose reign is sometimes discounted). Nikusiyar was then quickly deposed and replaced with Rafi ud Daulat's cousin Kujithsa Akhtar - better known as Muhammad Shah.
