As part of the general confusion, in 1566 the governor of Kabul threatens Lahore, while at the same time the elderly Muhammed Sultan Mirza decides pursue his superior claim to the Moghul throne (he is descended from Timur's second son, while Akbar is descended from his third). However, Akbar's forces remain loyal and capture the rebel prince, while the remaining Mirzas seek refuge with Rajput princes such as that of Mewar. The Uzbek princes support Muhammed Sultan Mirza but now Akbar defeats and kills them and drives the Mirzas to seek refuge in Gujarat.
