During the last decade of Akbar’s reign, his son Salim [later Emperor Jahangir] grew increasingly restive in his desire to assume supreme power. He rebelled outright several times, and, as governor of Allahabad Subah, refused to recognise Akbar’s suzerainty. The silver coins of Allahabad of this period were issued anonymously without following the imperial style, but with a Persian poetic couplet (and sometimes Ilahi month and date. Years 44 to 49 are known.) From ‘The Oxford History of India’ by Vincent A. Smith: “Prince Salim continued in open rebellion, holding court as a king in Allahabad. In August 1602 he inflicted a terrible blow upon his father’s feelings by hiring a robber chief named Bir Singh Bundela to murder Akbar’s trusted friend and counsellor Abul Fazal, whom the prince hated and feared. A temporary and insincere reconciliation between father and son was patched up by Salima Begam in 1603. But no real peace was possible until after the death of Prince Daniyal, which occurred in April 1604, when he died from effects of drink, like his brother Murad. Salim being then the only son left, Akbar became really anxious to arrange terms with him. The one other possible successor was Salim's son, Prince Khusru, a popular and amiable youth, whose claims were favoured by Raja Man Singh and Aziz Koka. In November 1604 Salim was persuaded to come to court, probably under threats that, if he refused, Khusru would be declared heir apparent. His father received him with seeming cordiality. He then drew him suddenly into an inner apartment, slapped him soundly in the face, and confined him in a bathroom under the charge of a physician and two servants, as if he were a lunatic requiring medical treatment. After a short time, the length of which is variously stated, Akbar released his son, restored him to favour, made him viceroy of the province to which Daniyal had been appointed, and allowed him to reside at Agra as the acknowledged heir apparent The prince was cowed by his father's rough handling and gave no further trouble."
