Belated #Mughal101 thread! It's time for my least fave Mughal: Humayun. But his rule has it all: soap operatic sibling rivalry! a cunning rival! a Trojan Harem! & gut-wrenching deaths

Hello everyone, welcome to Desi Game of Thrones.
Last time we looked at Babur's invasion of India and his indulgence in the time-honoured family tradition of building severed head towers. But sorry folks, Babur is dead now, and he's indulged in another dangerous family tradition: dividing his Empire among his sons.
He leaves India largely to his fave son Humayun, the eccentric, soft-hearted academic of the family. (This is a bad move.) Before he dies he tells Humayun: "Do nothing against your brothers, though they may deserve it." (This is EXTREMELY bad move.)
