Babur could nto recover his central Asian habitat or Samarkand so he went to Kabul and then to India. WHo was it that forced him to flee east though? ------------- "the people are nothing but a great beast... I have learned to hold popular opinion of no value." -Alexander Hamilton |

Talk about a sucky spelling thread. Anyways, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babur - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babur To sum it up, he lost it due to a revolt amongst the noblemen, and his soldiers deserted him, then he regained it, then lost it again to the Ozbegs, and captured Kabul instead. ------------- Arrrgh!!"

When Timur's empire broke up, one branch of it started ruling Ferghana. IIRC, Babur comes from these Ferghana rulers, but his mother was a descendent or a relative of Chinggis Kha'an. ------------- [IMG]http://img50.exs.cx/img50/6148/ger3.jpg"> Qaghan of the Vast Steppes http://steppes.proboards23.com - Steppes History Forum |
