Akbar succeeded his father Humāyūn when he was 13, although not easily. Humāyūn had barely established his authority after regaining his throne the year before he died. Akbar’s accession could not be assured for some time after his father’s death, but his authority was eventually consolidated under the guidance of his chief minister Bayram Khan.
