When the second Emperor Humayun died suddenly, his thirteen-year-old son was crowned Emperor. He was called Akbar, meaning "Great". He would grow up to amply deserve the name, for he was the greatest of the Great Moghuls.
Aurangzeb murdered two brothers to inherit
the throne and imprisoned his father. He greatly extended the Moghul Empire,
but Sikh resistance to his attempts to impose Islam hastened
his decline.
