Aisan Daulat Begum (died June, 1505, other spellings Ehsan Daulat, Isan Daulat, Ësan Dawlat[1]) was the first wife and chief consort of Yunus Khan of Moghulistan. She was the mother of Qutlugh Nigar Khanum, and hence the grandmother of the first Mughal emperor, Babur. During the reign of her grandson, she functioned as his de facto regent and advisor, from 1494 to 1505.[2]
