Hemu "Humayun died in January, 1556 A.D. and his son Akbar ascended the throne of Delhi. Taking advantage of Humayun's death, Himu proceeded from Gwalior to Agra and occupied it easily as its governor Iskandar Khan Uzbeg fled to Delhi without offering any resistance. Then Himu marched on Delhi and took possession of it after defeating the governor Tardi Beg Khan. Emboldened by the success he proceeded against the Mughals but was killed in the battle at Panipat on November 5, 1556." Uttar Pradesh District Gazetteers: Jaunpur p.36
