Farrukhsiyar (Persian pronunciation:[faɾ.ˈɾuxsaj.ˈjɑːɾ]; 20 August 1683 – 9 April 1719), also spelled as Farrukh Siyar, was the tenth Mughal Emperor from 1713 to 1719. He rose to the throne after deposing his uncle Jahandar Shah.[1] He was an emperor only in name, with all effective power in the hands of the courtier Sayyid brothers.[2]
Reportedly a handsome man who was easily swayed by his advisers, he was said to lack the ability, knowledge and character to rule independently.
Farrukhsiyar was the son of Azim-ush-Shan (the second son of emperor Bahadur Shah I) and Sahiba Niswan.
