RESTORATION OF HUMAYUN (AD 1555-1556)

RESTORATION OF HUMAYUN (AD 1555-1556)

In his wanderings, HumayW1 reached Amarkot where he was well-received by its Rana. It was here that his queen gave birth to a son, who was named Akbar. But due to a quarrel he had to flee from there, and at last reached Persia. The Persian king, Shah Tahmasp gave him military help to conquer Kabul and Kandahar from his brother Kamran. He now proceeded to regain his lost throne. He took the . services of an able officer named Bairam Khan. Humayun defeated the weakened Afghan forces of Sikandar Sur and occupied Agra and Delhi in 1555. But he was not destined to rule long. He died from the effects of an accidental fall from the staircase of his library at Delhi (AD 1556).
