Ahmad Shah Bahadur

Ahmed Shah Bahadur was born in 1725 to Mohammed Shah. He succeeded his father to the throne as the 15th Mughal Emperor in 1748 at the age of 23. After ruling a collapsing Mughal Empire—earlier ransacked by Nadir Shah unsuccessfully for 6 years—he retired in 1754, badly afflicted by disease. He was killed in his sleep on a night in January 1775 at the age of fifty, leaving no male heirs by Wazir Ghazi-ud-Din.
