Humayun's tomb was commissioned by his first wife and chief consort, Haji Begum (also known as Haji Hamida Begum). She supervised its construction between 1565-1572. Akbar was Humayun's son, Jahangir was Akbar's son, and Shahjahan was Jahangir's son - they ruled later but did not build Humayun's tomb.
