Bayazid Baz Bahadur Khan was the last Sultan of Malwa Sultanate, who reigned from 1555 to 1562. He succeeded his father, Shuja'at Khan. He is known for his romantic liaison with Roopmati. The Mughals defeated him and captured his Hindu queen Roopmati, who killed herself at this turn of events. Malwa was absorbed by the Mughals, with Baz Bahadur becoming a fugitive at various courts for a number of years. In November 1570, he surrendered to Akbar at Nagaur and joined his service. Bahadur's capital was Mandu (now in Madhya Pradesh), which then became an important city in the Mughal Empire.
