All were raised to the rank of Nawabs, and placed in situations of high trust and emoluments.

Kuramut-on Nissa, too, the sister of Futteh Morad, was invited; but when Dolaree's husband--the humble Roostum--ventured to approach the Court, he was seized and imprisoned in a fort in the Bangur district till the death of Nuseer-od Deen, when he was released.

He came to Lucknow, but died soon after.
Soon after the death of Ghazee-od Deen had placed the heir-apparent, her husband, on the throne, 20th of October, 1827, she fortified herself still further by high alliances: and her son, Mahommed Allee, was affianced to the daughter of Rokun-od Dowla, brother of the late King; and her daughter, Zeenut-on Nissa, to Moomtaz-od Dowla, the prince of whom I am writing.

These two marriages were celebrated at a cost of about thirty lacs of rupees; Dolaree was declared the first consort of the King, under the title of "Mulika Zamanee," queen of the age, and received an estate in land yielding six lacs of rupees a-year for pin-money.

Not satisfied with this, she prevailed upon the King to declare her son, Mahommed Allee, _alias_ Kywan Ja, to be his _own and eldest son_, and heir-apparent to the throne; and to demand his recognition as such from the British Government, through its representative, the Resident.
