Sikandar Sūr had great confidence in the strength of Mānkot but relied chiefly on such diversion as could be created by his cousin ‘Ādil, who still held Chunār, but who was now attacked by his cousin Khizr Khān Sūr, styling himself Jalāl-ud-dīn Bahādur Shāh of Bengal, and was slain. The news of his death so discouraged Sikandar that he surrendered in May, 1557, after enduring a siege of some months’ duration, and by the interest of Atga Khān, the emperor’s foster-father, received Bihār as an assignment. He died two years later.
