 Osprey Men-at-Arms 263 : Mughul India 1504-1761
Babur, the founder of the Mughul [Arabic -Persian name for a Mongol] dynasty, was of Turco-Mongol origin - he was descended from Timur-i-Lenk [Tamerlane] on his father's side and Genghis Khan on his mother's.
Though Babur disliked being called a Mongol and much preferred to be known as a Turk, the name 'Mughul' stuck; and succeeding rulers of the dynasty became known in Europe as the Great Moguls.
During his own lifetime, though, this founder of the Mughul dynasty was seen as an attractive figure: resilient, brave, cheerful, a skilled poet and a successful if cautious general.

To legalize what he had gained by the strength of arms and strategy, he now assumed the royal title of Sher Shah and ordered the Khutba to be read and the coins to be struck in his name.
