Sikandar Lodi, whose original name was Nizam Khan, ascended the throne of Delhi in 1489 A.D. and ruled up to 1517 A.D. He has been generally regarded as the greatest Sultan of the Lodi dynasty. Soon after his succession, he suppressed the rebellious Hindus equipped with an army of 100,000 at Jaunpur. In 1504 he laid the foundation the city of Agra. He consolidated and extended the boundaries of his empire in all directions. He strengthened his hold over Raja Man Singh, an able and liberal ruler of Gwalior and made chiefs of other independent states realize the resurgent power the Delhi sultanate. He spent four years at Ambhal to organize thoroughly the administration of the trans-Gangetic provinces and then shifted his capital form Delhi to Sikandria, a suberb of Agra. Automatically with this step started the future importance of Agra.

Sikandar proved to be a capable ruler who was kind to his Muslim subjects, but was extremely harsh to his Hindu subjects. He expanded Lodi territory into the regions of Gwalior and Bihar. He made a treaty with Alauddin Hussain Shah and his kingdom of Bengal.
