Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Bahadur Shah II acted as a figurehead for the revolt in 1857. As the last Mogul Emperor whose kingdom had shrunk to the area around Delhi, he had little ambition and was 81 in 1857, however the rebels used him as figure to unite Indians. When the rebellion was put down, he was exiled to Rangoon, Burma.
