This tomb to Humayun was commissioned in about 1570, by either his wife Haji Begam or his son Akbar the Great, and built at a cost of 1.5 million rupees. It is thought to be the first garden tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and the first example of the monumental style of architecture, that would become associated with the Mughal Empire, that reached its high point with the building of the Taj Mahal.
Started in 1515, and completed in 1525, this tomb is the work of the Roullant Le Roux, Rouen cathedral's master mason of the time. It is a memorial to the French cardinal and archbishop of Rouen George d'Amboise (d1510), the other figure is his nephew George d'Amboise (d1550) who became archbishop of Rouen on his uncle's death.
