So, this is something I've been pondering the more I look into the Mughals and all.
In 1605,Akbar arguably the greatest Mughal Emperor died, and was succeded by his eldest surviving son Jahangir who was seen by some as useless and incompetent. Jahangir ruled until his own death some twenty years later.
However, what would've happened had Jahangir died in 1604, before his father's death? WOuld the succession war have been between Jahangir's two oldest sons, or would Shah Jahan also have featured in this? Who might've emerged from all of this as the Emperor at the end?
