Nasiruddin Mohd Humayun, the eldest son of Babar and father of Akbar The Great. The only Mughal, with broken reign - ruled from 1530-1542 and then chased out of Hindustan by Sher Shah Sur. Came back at the head of Persian army in 1555 to defeat Islam Shah the son of Sher Shah and claimed his patrimony. He entered Delhi in AUG1555 and died at Purana Qila on 24JAN1556. So the second part of reign was really short.
