2nd battle of Panipat, 1556
- Fought between Akbar (13 years old, the army was led by his guardian Bairam Khan) and Hemchandra Vikramaditya of Rewari or Hemu (the most important minister and military general of the Suri dynasty).
- Babar was succeeded by Humayun who was defeated by Afghan invader Shershah Suri(set up the rule of the Suri dynasty, 1540-55).
- In 1555, Humayun defeated Suris but then died in 1556, and now Hemu recaptured power.
- Therefore the 2nd battle of Panipat was fought by Akbar to establish the Mughal empire in India.
