Aurangzeb died on 14 March 1707 without naming a successor, while his eldest son Mu'azzam (Shah Alam I) was in remote Kabul. In the resulting power vacuum the second son Azam Shah declared himself as the emperor. He then swiftly moved towards the North, to meet his challenger Mu'azzam. The two met at the battle of Jajau on 8 June 1707 and Azam Shah was defeated and killed by Mu'azzam.
