Zahīr ud-Dīn Muhammad, known as Babur, was born on the 14th of February 1483 in the city of Andijan within the Fergana Valley. This region is now part of Uzbekistan and was the capital of his father Umar Shaikh Mirza II.
The First Battle of Panipat on the 21st of April 1526 marked the end of the Lodi dynasty and the foundation of the Mughal Empire. Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi's army of 100,000 soldiers and 1,000 elephants using matchlock guns and cast cannons to secure his rule.
Babur captured Samarkand in 1497 but held it for only one hundred days before being forced to flee due to a rebellion in Fergana. He lost the city to Muhammad Shaybani, the Khan of the Uzbeks, and was compelled to give his sister Khanzada in marriage to Shaybani as part of a peace settlement.
Babur adopted Ottoman military technology including matchlock guns and cast cannons to defeat numerically superior armies of the Delhi Sultanate. He employed Ottoman instructors like Mustafa Rumi to train his men to use these weapons in the field.
Babur died in Agra on the 26th of December 1530 and was initially buried in Chauburji. His remains were later moved to Kabul and reburied in Bagh-e Babur, the Gardens of Babur, between 1539 and 1544.
