Sikandar Shah Lodi (1489-1517) sultan of Delhi who had an encounter with the sultan of Bengal. Sikandar Shah, most capable among the Lodi rulers, established control over Etawah, Biyana, Koil, Gowalior, Dholpur, Chanderi, Tirhut and reached up to the confines of Bengal kingdom, which then included a considerable portion of Bihar.

The Jaunpur sultan Husain Shah Sharqi took asylum under Alauddin husain shah, the sultan of Bengal. Sikandar sharply reacted by sending an expedition towards Bengal. In a battle near Benares he defeated Husain Shah Sharqi. The Bengal sulan sent an army under the command of his son Daniyal to intercept the advance of Sikandar. The Delhi sultan opened negotiations for peace and both sides agreed not to encroach on each other';s dominions.
