How did Humayun die?
On the evening of 21 Jan 1556, Humayun was walking in the terrace of his library at Sher Mandal in Delhi. While descending the steps, he heard the announcement for the evening prayer. He stood still upon the occasion and sat down on the second step till the proclamation was ended. When he was going to rise, he supported himself on a staff, which unfortunately slipped upon the marble, and he fell headlong from the top to the bottom of the stair. He was taken up insensible and laid upon his bed. He died on 24 Jan, at the age of fifty-one, after a reign of twenty-five years, in Kabul and India.
Humayun-Nama, is an account of the life of Humayun, written by Humayun's sister Gulbadan Begum. It was written in Persian language but you can get the English translation by Annette S. Beveridge at Amazon.
Nasir-ud-din Muhammad Humayun (1530-1540 & 1555-1556) was the Mughal emperor of India from 1530 to 1556. However, Humayun’s reign was briefly interrupted when Sher Shah Suri, the Afghan defeated him in two successive battles and established his empire (Sur dynaty) in 1540. Sher Shah Suri had determined to drive out the Mughals from India. Therefore, Humayun had to flee from India and took refugee at Persia.
In 1555, Humayun recaptured his throne after defeating Sher Shah's weak successors.
Humayun was the eldest son of Babur, founder of the Mughal empire. In 1556, Humayun died and was succeeded by his eldest son Akbar.
