'''Muhammad Zaman Mirza''' (1496–1539)<ref>John E Woods, ''The Timurid Dynasty'' (1990), p. 26</ref> was a [[Timurid dynasty|Timurid]] prince, and general to [[Mughal Emperor]]s [[Babur]] and [[Humayun]]. He claimed himself as the ruler of [[Gujarat]] in 1537 but did not gain actual control.

==Early life==
Muhammad Zaman Mirza was the son of [[Badi' al-Zaman Mirza]], the Timurid ruler of [[Herat]]. His mother was the daughter of Tahamtan Beg and the niece of Asad Beg.<ref>{{cite book|first=Emperor|last=Babur|first2=Wheeler McIntosh|last2=Thackston|title=The Baburnama: Memoirs of Babur, prince and emperor|publisher=Random House Publishing Group|date=September 10, 2002|pages=[https://archive.org/details/babarinizam00babu/page/210 210]|isbn=978-0-375-76137-9|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/babarinizam00babu/page/210}}</ref> He was the grandson of [[Sultan Husayn Mirza Bayqara]] and Bega Sultan Begum. He was married to [[Masuma Sultan Begum (daughter of Babur)|Masuma Sultan Begum]], [[Babur]]'s daughter by [[Masuma Sultan Begum]], the daughter of [[Sultan Ahmed Mirza]].<ref>{{cite book|author =Begum, Gulbadan|author-link =Gulbadan Begum|title=The History of Humayun (Humayun-Nama)|publisher=Royal Asiatic Society|year=1902|pages=262}}</ref>

==Career==
He tried to exert his independence early on but was imprisoned at [[Bayana]] by order of Emperor [[Humayun]], but he managed to escape and took refuge in [[Gujarat Sultanate]] where ''Sultan'' [[Bahadur Shah of Gujarat|Qutb-ud-Din Bahadur Shah]] welcomed him.

On December 23, 1534 while on board the galleon St. Mattheus, ''Sultan'' [[Bahadur Shah of Gujarat|Qutb-ud-Din Bahadur Shah]] signed the [[Treaty of Bassein (1534)|Treaty of Bassein]]. Based on the terms of the agreement, the [[Portuguese Empire]] gained control of the city of [[Vasai|Bassein]], as well as its territories, islands, and seas. In 1535, [[Gujarat]] was occupied by the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]]s, and Bahadur Shah was forced to conclude an alliance with the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] to regain the country, conceding [[Daman and Diu|Daman]] and [[Diu, India|Diu]], [[Mumbai]], and [[Vasai]] to the [[Portugal|Portuguese]]. In February 1537, he was killed by the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] while visiting them on a Portuguese ship anchored off the coast of [[Gujarat]], and his body was dumped into the [[Arabian Sea]].

''Sultan'' [[Bahadur Shah of Gujarat|Qutb-ud-Din Bahadur Shah]] had no legitimate son, hence there was some uncertainty regarding succession after his death. Muhammad Zaman Mirza, the fugitive Mughal general made his claim on the ground that Bahadur's mother adopted him as her son. Seeing the danger in this declaration, The Gujarati nobles selected ''Sultan'' [[Bahadur Shah of Gujarat|Qutb-ud-Din Bahadur Shah]]'s nephew [[Farooqi dynasty|Miran Muhammad Shah I]] of [[Khandesh]] as his successor, but he died on his way to Gujarat. Finally, the nobles selected Mahmud Khan, son of Bahadur's brother Latif Khan as his successor and he ascended to the throne as [[Mahmud Shah III]] on May 10, 1538.

Then Muhammad Zaman Mirza made an agreement with Portuguese in which he would yield [[Mangrol, Kathiawar|Mangrol]] and [[Daman and Diu|Daman]] and a band of land along the entire coast, in return for their support but the Gujarati nobles defeated Muhammad Zaman Mirza who had fled to [[Delhi]].
