Abu’l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar was the third Mughal emperor. His many titles included Akbar the Great, the famous “Akbar I,” and even the lesser-known “Akbar the First.” He ruled from 1556 to 1605, and was the son of Humayun. The young emperor was helped by his uncle Bairam Khan, who helped the young king expand the Mughal domains throughout India.
Known as the “Great Mogul,” Akbar’s empire encompassed the most parts of northern, central, and western India. Akbar the Great established a sprawling kingdom in India, and is remembered for his religious tolerance and patronage of the arts. He remained an enlightened and inclusive leader, promoting religion and tolerance, and expanding the Mughal Empire.
