Humayun (Mughal Emperor)

Humayun was the second Mughal emperor of India, ruling from 1530 to 1540 and again from 1555 to 1556. He was the son of Babur, the empire’s founder. Known for his resilience, Humayun faced initial military setbacks and was temporarily exiled from India but eventually regained his throne with Persian and Afghan alliances. His reign helped consolidate Mughal power and culture, laying the groundwork for his son Akbar’s future expansion. Humayun is also remembered for his patronage of arts, architecture, and the establishment of a refined court that influenced Indian culture.
