The medieval Hindu ruler who was a contemporary of Akbar, and took the title of Vikramaditya was Hemachandra (Hemu). Hemu claimed royal status after defeating Akbar's Mughal forces on 7 October 1556 in the Battle of Delhi and assumed the ancient title of Vikramaditya that had been adopted by many Hindu kings in the past. A month later, Hemu was wounded by a chance arrow and captured during the Second Battle of Panipat.
