Sayyid 'Abdullah Khān, with the emperor, marched, on 14 October, from Fathpur-Sīkrī to Āgra and was about to open negotiations with Chhabelā Rām when the latter suddenly died. His nephew Girdhar Bahādur opened negotiations for the surrender of the strong fortress of Allahābād in return for appointment as governor of Oudh. He accepted these terms but delayed so long, on flimsy pretexts, that a force was sent to besiege Allahābād.
