Answer 1

Harshavardhana ruled nearly 1400 years ago. We come to know about him from his biography, written by his court poet Banabhatta.

This biography is known as Harshacharita which is in Sanskrit.

Another source about Harshavardhana is the account that Xuan Zang left behind.

Harshavardhana became the ruler of Thanesar after both his father and elder brother died.

He took over the kingdom of Kanauj after his brother-in-law was killed by the ruler of Bengal.

Harsha led an army against the ruler of Bengal.
