The armies of the
Mughal Emperor
Humayun fighting those of
Bahadur Shah of Gujarat in the year 1535, as depicted in an
Akbarnama manuscript from the late 16th century. Bahadur, the
Sultan of Gujarat, had allied with the
Portuguese and planned an attack on the Mughals. To preempt such an attack, Humayun struck at Gujarat and conquered
Mandu and
Champaner before stopping his attack. Bahadur Shah was killed by the Portuguese two years later; Humayun was overthrown by
Sher Shah Suri in 1540, retaking the throne fifteen years later.
