5 unusual facts about History of Faizabad


History of Faizabad

Muhammad Shah was very pleased with his service and gave him the title of "Burhan-ul-Mulk".

Faizabad was developed later on by Nawab Safdarjung's successor, Nawab Shujauddaula into a full fledged capital city, with gardens, palaces, markets, roads and other infrastructure.

His only child was a daughter who was married to his nephew Muhammad Muqim better known as Abul Mansur Khan Safdar Jung the son of Sayadat Khan who succeeded him in the government of Awadh.

However, more accurately, the reference is found in Medieval and Modern history, when Nawab Saadat Ali Khan, Burhan-ul-Mulk was given the charge of the Subah of Awadh around 1722 by the Mughal Court.

Faizabad developed further during the reign of Nawab Safdarjung, the second nawab of Avadh (1739–54), who made it the military headquarters while his successor Nawab Shuja-ud-daula developed it as full fledged capital city.
