| ==Early life==
| | }} |
| He was the son of Nizam Khan, the younger brother of the Sultan [[Sher Shah Suri]]. Adil's sister, Bibi Bai, was married to [[Islam Shah Suri]]. His real name was Muhammad Mubariz Khan. He was responsible for the assassination of [[Firuz Shah Suri]], the twelve-year-old son of [[Islam Shah Suri]], in 1554. Then he ascended the throne as the last sultan of the united empire. He appointed [[Hemu]] as his [[Vizier|Wazir]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| In 1555, Adil's brother in law, [[Ibrahim Shah Suri]] of [[Agra]], revolted. Adil Shah's army was defeated and he lost the throne of [[Delhi]]. Soon, the empire founded by [[Sher Shah Suri|Sher Shah]] was divided into four parts. As [[Delhi]] and [[Agra]] came under the rule of [[Ibrahim Shah Suri]], only the territories from the vicinity of [[Agra]] to [[Bihar]] remained under Adil. [[Muhammad Khan Sur|Shamsuddin Muhammad Shah]] already declared independence of [[Bengal]] in 1554. But hostility did not end with the division of empire.
| |
| | |
| [[Ibrahim Shah Suri]] was then defeated by [[Sikandar Shah Suri]] at Farah, 32 km from Agra, and thus lost the possession of Delhi and Agra. Then [[Ibrahim Shah Suri|Ibrahim]] renewed his strife with Adil, but he was defeated by [[Hemu]] twice, once near Kalpi and again near Khanua. He took refuge in the Bayana fort, which was besieged by [[Hemu]].
| |
| | |
| [[Muhammad Khan Sur|Muhammad Shah]] of Bengal approached near Kalpi, Adil had to recall [[Hemu]] to Kalpi. [[Muhammad Khan Sur|Muhammad Shah]] was defeated and killed at Chhapparghatta near Kalpi. Adil captured [[Bengal]] and appointed [[Shahbaz Khan Kamboh|Shahbaz Khan]] as the Governor. He made [[Chunar]] his capital.
| |
| | |
| In 1557, Adil was defeated and killed in a battle with the Bengal Sultan [[Ghiyasuddin Bahadur Shah II|Khizr Khan Suri]], the son of [[Muhammad Khan Sur|Muhammad Shah]].<ref name=r1/>
