Jagmal Singh
Jagmal Singh was a sixteenth century Indian prince and court figure. He was the son of Maharana Udai Singh II and Rani Dheer Bai Bhattiyani.[1] BiographyAfter the death of Udai Singh II his favorite wife, Dheerbai Bhatiyani, wanted Jagmal to succeed Maharana Udai Singh after his death even though he was not the eldest son.[2] On his deathbed, Udai Singh II named Jagmal Singh as the next Maharana. Jagmal was to be crowned as Maharana of Udaipur in 1572; however, the nobles of the court instead crowned Maharana Pratap.[3][4][5] Jagmal left Mewar and went into the service of the Mughal Subedar in Ajmer, who gave him shelter. Later he met Akbar and was given the jagir of Jahazpur as a gift. Sometime before 1581, he married the daughter of Maharao Man Singh II of Sirohi and became the co-ruler of half of Sirohi in 1581.[citation needed] His brother-in-law and ruler of Sirohi Rao Surtan became his enemy after this. He was killed by Rao Hammirji of Chandana on 17 October 1583 at the Battle of Dattani.[6] References
