Babur

Babur (1483-1530; reigned 1526-1530), full birth name Ẓahīr-ud-Dīn Muhammad was the founder of the Mughal Empire in northern India. Babur was born in the city of Andijan of the Timurid Empire, now modern-day Uzbekistan. He was descended from both Tamerlane and Genghis Khan. In 1526 he captured Delhi. Babur was a homosexual. Sultan Mahmud Mirza, the uncle of Babur, wrote in Tuzuk-i-baburi, "He took beautiful boys of his noblemen and admitted them into his "boys" harem. He surrounded himself with scores of beautiful boys. This practice became a custom throughout his kingdom and noblemen occupied themselves with this mode."[1] On his death in 1530 he was succeeded by his son Humayun.[1]
