After the murder of her uncle by Mozaffarids, Soltan Bakht Agha decided to marry Mubariz al-Din Muhammad to gain an influence in the court of Mozaffarids and to cause a rift among the princes. Her brother-in-law, Jalaleddin, helped her with it. After a while Mubariz al-Din Muhammad realized his wife's intrigues and ordered to kill her. After the killing of Soltan Bakht Agha by Mubariz al-Din Muhammad, Jalaleddin captured Isfahan and ordered to build a splendid mausoleum on her tomb.[1]
