Humayun 1530 - 1556 The Luckless Leader


   

After Babur died, he was succeeded by his son Humayun in 1530. 
Humayun was 23 years old.

He was not a soldier and unlike his father, neither skilled nor a wise leader.

Inherited a disunited and disorganized empire.

In 1540, Sher Shah of Bengal defeated Humayun and took over the Mughal Empire. 

The Empire was lost from 1540-1545.

 He was exiled but later regained power in 1555.

Humayun died in 1556 after falling down the steps of his  library; he is known as “the luckless one”.
