Nasir-ud-Din Haidar Shah (Hindi: नासिर उद दीन हैदर शाह , Urdu: ناصر الدیں حیدر شاہ ‎) (b.9 September 1803 – d. 7 July 1837) was the second King of Oudh from 19 October 1827 to 7 July 1837.[1][2]

Life

He was the son of Ghazi-ud-Din Haidar Shah.[3] After the death of Ghazi-ud-din Haidar his son Nasir-ud-din Haider ascended the throne on 20 October 1827 at the age of 25 years.[2] He was fond of women and wine[2] and had believed in astrology and astronomy.[3] He made additions of Darshan Vilas to Claude Martin's house – Farhat Buksh in 1832.[3]

Death

He was poisoned by members of the court.[3] As he had no offspring, there was a succession crisis. The queen mother, Padshah Begum, put Munna Jan on the throne, but he was not acknowledged as a member of the royal family. The British intervened, jailing both Padshah Begum and Munna Jan. They enthroned Nasir-ud-daula, son of the late Nawab Saadat Ali Khan.[3]
