Husain Sharqī, from his retreat in Bihār, had assiduously instigated Bārbak to attack his brother, in the hope that their quarrels would open a way for his return to Jaunpur, and Sikandar, apprised of his brother’s designs, marched to attack him. Bārbak advanced to Kanauj to meet him and suffered a defeat, in consequence of which he fled to Budaun. Sikandar pursued him, besieged him in that city, and after a few days compelled him to surrender. He was treated with great leniency and was replaced on the throne of Jaunpur, but merely as a king in name, for Sikandar distributed the rich fiefs of the kingdom among his own adherents, and even placed confidential agents in Bārbak’s household. - [Previous: v3.c22.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c22.26) - [Next: v3.c22.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c22.28) - [Up: v3.c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c22.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c22.27) · Pramāṇa
