Shah Jahan was the third son of Jahangir. Jahangir's eldest sons Khusrau and Parveiz had died before their father. After Jahangir's death, Empress Nur Jahan wished to place her son-in-law Shahryar on the throne. But Nur Jahan's brother and wazir of the Kingdom, Asaf Khan, helped Shah Jahan to ascend the throne after defeating Shahryar.
