1554 CE
Islam Shah dies in 1554; his twelve year old son Firuz Shah Suri succeeds him, but within days is assassinated by Sher Shah's nephew Muhammad Mubariz Khan, who will later rule as Muhammad Shah Adil, embroiling India’s Sur dynasty in a three-way war of succession.
The three rivals for the throne march on Delhi, while in many cities leaders attempt to declare independent rule, providing the opportunity for Humayun’s return to India.
