HUMAYUN (15o8-1556)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 872 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUMAYUN (15o8-1556) , Mogul emperor of Delhi, succeeded his father
Baber
  in India in 1530, while his brother Kamran obtained the sovereignty of Kabul and Lahore.
Humayun
  was thus left in possession of his father's
recent
  conquests, which were in dispute with the Indian Afghans under Sher Shah,
governor
  of Bengal. After ten years of fighting,
Humayun
  was driven out of India and compelled to flee to Persia through the
desert
  of Sind, where his famous son,
Akbar
  the
Great
 , was born in the
petty
  fort of Umarkot (1542). Sher Shah was killed at the storming of Kalinjar 0545), and Humayun, returning to India with
Akbar
 , then only thirteen years of age, defeated the Inds-Afghan army and reoccupied Delhi (1555) India thus passed again from the Afghans to the Moguls, but six months afterwards Humayun was killed by a fall from the
parapet
  of his palace (1556), leaving his kingdom to Akbar. The tomb of Humayun is one of the finest Mogul monuments in the
neighbour
 -hood of Delhi, and it was here that the last of the Moguls, Bahadur Shah, was captured by Major Hodson in 18J7.
