She had at least one child.She moved to India in 1528 with one of her stepmothers who was allowed to adopt her as her own. After the defeat of Humayun in 1540, she moved back to Kabul to live with one of her half-brothers. After Humayun won back his kingdom, she did not return to Agra. After Humayun died in a tragic accident in 1556, she was brought back to Agra by Akbar. She lived in Agra and then in Sikri for a short time, but mostly in Lahore or with the Court for the rest of her life, except for a period of seven years when she undertook a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Mughal Court even up to the early years of Shah Jahan's reign was never a confined thing, but a travelling grand encampment and there is no doubt that <mask> Banu Begum, like most Mughal ladies, hated the confines living in buildings. She is thought to have been an educated and cultured woman of royalty.She liked to read and was fond of her brother and nephew.

One corner of the quadrangle where she is buried has his grave in it. It has been lost if <mask> <mask> wrote about the death of Humayun when he fell down the steps in Delhi. Four years before the death of Humayun, the manuscript ends abruptly. It ends with a description of the blinding of Kamran Mirza. It is reasonable to believe that the only available manuscript is an incomplete version of her writing, as we know that she received the directive to write the story of Humayun's rule by Akbar long after his death.

He said that he started his education musically, moving from group to group, furthering his knowledge of the blues and other music which had weight and was worth listening to. <mask>'s early blues influences were Johnson, Bukka White, Skip James, and Jerry Miller. While pursuing his music career, <mask> worked for a British construction company laying tarmac on roads. He worked at Woolworth's in Halesowen town for a short time. He was in contact with drummer John Bonham after he cut three obscure singles on CBS Records.The Band of Joy merged blues with newer trends. In 1968, guitarist Jimmy Page was in search of a lead singer for his new band and met <mask> after being turned down by his first choice, Terry Reid, who referred him to a show at a teacher training college. <mask> sang Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" in front of Page to end his search. With a shared passion for music, <mask> and Page immediately developed a strong relationship, and began their writing collaboration with reworkings of earlier blues songs. In 1968, the band became known as the "New Yardbirds". The band's eponymous debut album hit the charts in 1969 and is widely credited as a catalyst for the heavy metal genre. Almost a third of their music was acoustic, so it's unfair for people to think of them as heavy metal.<mask> and his wife were seriously injured in a car crash in Greece in 1975. The production of Led Zeppelin's seventh album was disrupted for a few months while he recovered, and the band had to cancel their remaining tour dates for the year. <mask>'s son Karac died at the age of six in July of 1977 while he was on a concert tour. It was a big loss for the family. For months after <mask> retreated to his home in the Midlands, he questioned his future. It wasn't until 1969 that <mask> began writing song lyrics for Led Zeppelin. According to Jimmy Page, <mask>'s lyrics with Led Zeppelin were often mystical, philosophical

"The Rain Song" is another example. <mask>'s lyrics were inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's book series. "The Battle of Evermore", "Misty Mountain Hop", "No Quarter", "Ramble On", and "Over the Hills and Far Away" are all references to The Lord of the Rings. "The Lemon Song", "Trampled Under Foot", and "Black Dog" were some of the more straightforward lyrics that <mask> used. <mask> has an interest in mystical lyrics. He grew up close to the Welsh border and would often take summer trips there.<mask> took Welsh lessons and looked into the mythology of the land when he bought a Welsh sheep farm in 1973. Karac was named after the Welsh warrior Caratacus. The song "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" was inspired by a Welsh cottage owned by a friend of his father. The songs "Misty Mountain Hop", "That's the Way", and early dabblings in what would become "Stairway to Heaven" were written in Wales and reflect <mask>'s mystical view of the land. Steve Turner suggests that <mask>'s early and continued experiences in Wales served as the foundation for his broader interest in the mythologies he revisits in his lyrics. Jimmy Page and <mask> revisit their influences during their reunion album No Quarter: Jimmy Page and <mask> Unledded in 1994. On the 2002 album Dreamland, <mask> tapped into these influences many times.<mask>'s contribution to the track "Stairway to Heaven", an epic rock ballad featured on Led Zeppelin IV, drew influence from folk, blues, Celtic traditional music and hard rock among other genres. <mask> wrote most of the lyrics at Headley Grange in 1970. While never released as a single, the song has topped polls as the greatest song of all time. In Led Zeppelin's live performances, <mask> often sings lyrics previously unheard of on studio

As the 1970s progressed he, along with the other members of Led Zeppelin, became more flamboyant on-stage and wore more elaborate, colourful clothing and jewellery. According to Classic Rock magazine, "once he had a couple of US tours under his belt, 'Percy' <mask> swiftly developed a staggering degree of bravado and swagger that irrefutably enhanced Led Zeppelin's rapidly burgeoning appeal."In 1994, during his "Unledded" tour with Jimmy Page, <mask> himself reflected tongue-in-cheek upon his Led Zeppelin showmanship: One of the oddest awards he received was the Rock Scene magazine. <mask> was the winner of theReaders of the magazine had to decide who had the best chest in rock He replied "I'm really honoured although it's hard for me to be eloquent on the subject of my chest."

He had begun work on his famous skyscraper paintings in Philadelphia. <mask> was interested in the skyscraper buildings on Broad Street. It was fascinating to watch the freakishness disappear from those structures.In 1903, Broad Street, New York was honored with the W. T. Evans Award of the New York Watercolor Club. One of the points that most strikes me about this view up Broad Street is the dramatic contrast between the old, low type of buildings and the great skyscrapers. These contrasts are what my pictures are built on. <mask> was declared to be the skyscraper artist par excellence of America by The New York Times in 1911. They stated in an article that he was one of the most interesting figures in American art and that he had no superior. His paintings show skyscrapers in Philadelphia and Chicago. The painting Fifth Avenue, New York was purchased by the French government.It was a rare honor for an American artist. Critics often compared the works of <mask> and Childe Hassam. They are often credited with starting a trend of celebrating the wonders of New York City in their paintings. <mask> might have avoided certain subjects in order to differentiate himself from Hassam. <mask> did not focus on the tall buildings in his cityscapes. <mask>'s watercolors were as good as his oils. Before painting a larger work of the same subject in oils, he would create a small watercolor study.The smaller watercolors were finished pieces which he exhibited, sometimes years earlier than the larger oil paintings that he would ultimately produce. <mask> was elected to a prestigious membership in the National Academy of Design in 1912, four years after being elected an Associate. He and his wife were on the Carpathia during the rescue mission for the survivors of the Titanic. During the rescue operation, he created several paintings which document the events.

He was the Dean of Painting at the Santa Barbara Community School of Arts.Santa Barbara is a good place to paint because of its climate, flowers, mountains, and seascapes. I am compensated for the isolation from that artistic universe of America because I have a community interest in all sorts of artistic matters. He continued to maintain a studio in New York City for ten years after moving to California. He began writing plays and books in the mid-1920s as a result of his father's love of literature. In the 1920s and 1930s, his plays found their way to theater companies in places such as Pasadena, Redlands, and Santa Fe, and were also produced at a theater he founded in Santa Barbara, called The Strollers.
