Nadir Shah, led by Persian and Turkish soldiers, ended his conquest of the Mughal Empire on March 21, 1739, by taking Delhi, India, its capital. He grabbed great stocks of gold, and among the things he took was the legendary Peacock Throne. Nadir Shah fared no better than his splendid throne. He maintained his fighting ways, erecting an empire beset by financial difficulties and repeated revolts against his ruthless reign. He was assassinated by soldiers of his own army in 1749.
