During the 1490s a conflict broke out between Badi' and his father. Husayn had transferred Badi' from his governorship in
Astarabad, present day Gorgan, to
Balkh, and then passed over Badi's son Muhammad Mu'min to replace him in Astarabad. Enraged by his father's decision, Badi' launched a rebellion. He was defeated, and around the same time his son, who had been imprisoned in Herat, was executed. Husayn made peace with his son Badi', but tension remained between the two, and in 1499 Badi' besieged Herat. In 1506 his father Sultan-Husayn Bayqara died, and Badi' took the throne. However, he quickly became embroiled in a conflict with his brother
Muzaffar Husain. In the midst of this, the
Uzbeks under
Muhammad Shaybani were threatening the realm.
Visit of Babur Babur, who had marched from
Kabul in an effort to assist Husayn, arrived in Herat and stayed there for a while, but noted the weakness of the brothers and left without making battle with the Uzbeks. In his
Baburnama, Babur reccounts his stay in Herat, in particular
a party held by Badi' al-Zaman Mirza in which he was offered delicate roast goose and was entertained to poetry recitals, music and dancing. The next year in 1507, the Uzbeks under
Muhammad Shaybani captured Herat, bringing an end to Timurid rule there, and the brothers fled. Muzaffar died shortly after. Badi' went to
Kandahar to muster forces and marched against the Uzbeks, but was defeated. He then came to the court of
Ismail I of
Persia, where he was given lands surrounding
Tabriz and 3650 gold shorafins a year. In 1512 he lost a war against some small nations. Badi' stayed seven years at Tabriz until it was conquered by
Ottoman sultan Selim I, at which point he travelled to
Istanbul, where he died during the plague in 1514. ==Family==
