How it ended, as its article says
Conquered, 1562. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
In 1562, the Sultanate was conquered from its last ruler, Baz Bahadur, by the Mughal Empire under Akbar the Great, and it became a subah of the empire.
