'''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]].<br />
<br />
Baz Bahadur as sultan did not bother to look after his kingdom nor did he maintain a strong army, being devoted to the arts and to his paramour. The [[Mughals]] defeated him and captured his Hindu queen [[Roopmati]], who killed herself at this turn of events.<br />
<br />
In 1561, [[Akbar]]'s army led by [[Adham Khan]] and [[Pir Muhammad Khan Shirwani|Pir Muhammad Khan]] attacked [[Malwa]] and defeated Baz Bahadur in the battle of [[Sarangpur, Madhya Pradesh|Sarangpur]] on 29 March 1561. One of the reasons for Adham Khan's attack seems to be his lust for Rani [[Roopmati]]. Rani Roopmati poisoned herself upon hearing of the fall of [[Mandu, Madhya Pradesh|Mandu]]. Baz Bahadur fled<ref name=VAS>{{cite book |title=Akbar the Great Mogul, 1542-1605 |last=Smith |first=Vincent, Arthur |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=y_BBAAAAIAAJ&q=%22Baz+Bahadur&dq=%22Baz+Bahadur&pgis=1}}</ref> to [[Khandesh]]. Akbar soon recalled Adham Khan and made over command to Pir Muhammad, who attacked Khandesh and proceeded up to [[Burhanpur]] but was soon defeated by a coalition of three powers: [[Faruqi dynasty#Miran Mubarak Shah II|Miran Mubarak Shah II]] of [[Khandesh]], Tufal Khan of [[Berar Sultanate|Berar]] and Baz Bahadur. Pir Muhammad died while retreating. The confederate army pursued the Mughals and drove them out of Malwa, and thus Baz Bahadur regained his kingdom for a brief period. In 1562, Akbar sent another army led by Abdullah Khan which finally defeated Baz Bahadur, who fled to [[Chittor]]. 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.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Majumdar|first1=R. C.|author-link1=R. C. Majumdar|last2=Chaudhuri|first2=J.

Bahadur's capital was Mandu (now in [[Madhya Pradesh]]), which then became an important city in the [[Mughal Empire]]. The [[Jahaz Mahal]] is located in Mandu.<ref name=VAS/><br />
