PREDECESSORS and SHORT
HISTORY: Founded in 794 by Raja Chandrapal
Dev, the clan is named after his son Raja Bhado Rao who
established the capital at Bhadaura. Raja Shalya Dev
1194/1208, died in battle with Quttubuddin Aibak, the
first Sultan of Delhi. His son Raja Rajju Raut 1228/1262,
re-established his rule at Hatkant. Two Bhadauria
Maharajas, Badan Singh and Maha Singh served with the
Mughal armies in Afghanistan. Maharaja Mahendra Gopal
Singh greatly extended the boundaries of the state during
the decline of the Mughal empire. On his death in 1730,
the boundaries extended upto Gwalior in the south, Dholpur
in the west and Etawah and parts of Mathura and Kanpur in
the east, an area of close to 12000 sq kms. During the
latter years of the 18th century the Bhadaurias were
attacked by the Marathas and many of their possesions were
lost, leaving the small principality as we see it today
(1947). The clan is one of the most loyal and illustrious
and finds mention in almost all sultanate and Mughal era
texts. The total family tree is spread over 56 generations
as recorded over 1,300 years. Rulers and estate holders
were....
- Raja MANIK RAE,
Raja of Sambhar 720/794, he was the Chauhan ruler of
Sambhar, and is generally accepted to be the patriarch
of the age, the founder of the Chauhan power that
would one day rule Delhi. He became King when his
brother, the King of Ajmer was killed during the
invasion of Mohammed bin Kasim, and he had to flee,
later he recovered Ajmer from the Muslims in about
756, he married and had issue, ancestor of the 24
clans of the Chauhan dynasty.
- Raja CHANDRAPAL DEV,
Raja of Chandwar 794/816, he was the 12th son and
established his rule at Chandwar around 793AD. He is
credited with constructing the massive fort at
Chandwar, in present day Firozabad. Chandwar remained
in Bhadauria hands till 1208, he married and had
issue.

Raja of Bhadaura 816/842, sometimes referred to as
Bhado Rana, succeeded his father in 816. He
constructed the township and fortress of Bhadaura on
the banks of the river Uttangan, in present day Ater
tehsil. There is some confusion as to the actual date
of construction, with vansavali writers accepting
832AD while British historians R.Smeaton and W.H.L.
Impey estimate 820 AD. It is from this celebrated Raja
Bhado Rana and the village of Bhadauragarh that this
branch of Chauhans came to be called Bhadauria.
