Best Answer

Nur Jahan was Empress consort of the Mughal Empire from 25 May 1611 to 28 October 1627 and was the most beloved wife of the Mughal emperor Jahangir. She was strong, charismatic and well-educated woman who dominated a relatively weak-minded husband, Nur Jahan was the most powerful and influential woman at court during a period when the Mughal Empire was at the peak of its power and glory. More decisive and pro-active than her husband, she is considered by historians to have been the real power behind the throne for more than fifteen years.
