Adil Shah Suri

Adil Shah Suri (Pashto عادل شاه سوري) was the seventh and final ruler of the Sur Empire.

He was the brother in law of Sikandar Shah Suri, who ruled over a region east of Delhi after Sikandar Shah Suri was defeated by Humayun in 1555.

He and Sikandar Shah Suri were contenders for the Delhi throne against the Mughal emperor Akbar.

At the battle of Chhapparghatta in December 1555, Adil Shah and his Hindu general Hemu routed the Bengali forces and Muhammad Shah was killed.

In the battle of Fathpur in Munghyr in April 1557, Adil Shah's army was routed and Adil himself was captured and killed, bringing an effective end to the Sur Empire.
