Akbar The Great
Akbar the Great was the third and most powerful Mughal Emperor of India, ruling from 1556 to 1605. Queen Elizabeth I of England sent a letter to Akbar I, the Mughal Emperor of India, in 1585. This letter marked one of England's first actions towards commercial activity in India. She also asked that he would treat her subjects who had arrived at the court in Northern India in a favourable and friendly manner and that she had previously heard about his humanity.
