While he had been indulging in dreams of conquest Sher Khān Sūr, the Afghān, had risen in rebellion in Bengal, the nobles of Gujarāt, with the aid of the Portuguese, had recovered some posts from the Mughuls, and ‘Askarī Mīrzā, at Ahmadābād, was meditating his own proclamation as king of Gujarāt. Tardī Beg, the Mughul governor of Chāmpāner, refused to admit into the fortress the officers who, having been driven from their posts by Bahādur’s troops, desired to take refuge there, for he believed them to be partisans of ‘Askarī and disaffected towards Humāyūn. They accordingly besieged him in Chāmpāner and Humāyūn hastily returned towards Āgra, where his presence was urgently required, and was joined on the way by ‘Askarī and those who had besieged Chāmpāner who now made their peace with him. His ill-timed expedition into Gujarāt had lasted for thirteen months and thirteen days.
