#6 William Adams - Agra Fort



Just across the river from the Taj Mahal is Agra fort.  In my opinion this was more spectacular than the Taj itself.  It is also where the rest of the story occurs.  Because of the King’s grief he wasn’t very concerned about ruling the people.  His son saw an opportunity and seized control.  He locked up his father in Agra fort for the rest of his life.  The old King spent the remainder of his life wandering around the fort, which was as sumptuous as a palace, within sight of the tomb of his beloved.
