Answers
Hemchandra was defeated by the Mughal army in 1556 .
Explanation:
Hem Chandra Vikramaditya was a Hindu emperor of North India. He was killed in the Second Second Battle of Panipat, which was fought between Hem Chandra and the troops of Akbar.
This war was fought on 5 November 1556.
The war was a retaliation from Akbar and Bairam Khan after Hem Chandra conquered the states of Delhi and Agra. Hem Chandra defeated Tardi Beg Khan at the Battle of Delhi and declared himself Raja Vikramaditya.
Akbar and Bairam Khan waged this war to reclaim the lost territories of Delhi and Agra. Both sides clashed at Panipat in 1556.
Though Hem Chandra had numerical superiority, he was wounded by an arrow and fell unconscious. Seeing this, his army dispersed in panic. Unconscious, but not dead, Hem Chandra was captured and beheaded by Akbar.
