Bihar Medieval History Study Notes: The medieval History of Bihar is commemorated by the foreign invasion and dynasty that ruined the glory of Bihar. In medieval times Bihar lost its prestige as the political and cultural centre of India. The Mughal period was a period of unremarkable provincial administration from Delhi. The only remarkable person of these times in Bihar was Sher Shah, or Sher Khan Sur, an Afghan.
