===In Agra=== [[File:Хумаюн. Деталь миниатюры из Бабурнаме. 1590е гг. Москва, ГМВ.jpg|thumb|Humayun, detail of miniature of the ''[[Baburnama]]'']] When Humayun returned to Agra, he found that all three of his brothers were present. Humayun once again not only pardoned his brothers for plotting against him, but even forgave Hindal for his outright betrayal.<!-- ? — he was probably not in a position to inflict any punishment by this stage in any case.--> With his armies travelling at a leisurely pace, Sher Shah was gradually drawing closer and closer to Agra. This was a serious threat to the entire family, but Humayun and Kamran squabbled over how to proceed. Kamran withdrew after Humayun refused to make a quick attack on the approaching enemy, instead opting to build a larger army under his own name.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} When Kamran returned to Lahore, Humayun, with his other brothers Askari and Hindal, marched to meet Sher Shah {{convert|200|km|mi}} east of Agra at the battle of [[Kannauj]] on 17 May 1540. Humayun was soundly defeated. He retreated to Agra, pursued by Sher Shah, and thence through [[Delhi]] to Lahore. Sher Shah's founding of the short-lived [[Sur Empire]], with its capital at Delhi, resulted in Humayun's exile for 15 years in the court of [[Shah Tahmasp I]].<ref name="sen2">{{cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra Nath |year=2013 |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |page=154 |isbn=978-93-80607-34-4 |quote=Kamran withdrew from Agra to Lahore. ...
