The Siege of Samarkand was the third and last campaign against the city between Mughal and Uzbeks. Four years after its recapture by the forces of Babur, he lost his kingdom and capital following a rebellion. In 1501, Babur and his army besieged the city again. However, his invasion attempt was beaten off by Shaybani, an Uzbek tribal chief whose conquests were known across Central Asia.
