Answer:
Concept:
Emperor Jaya-chandra ruled throughout northern India. He is a member of the Gahadavala dynasty.
Explanation:
- Inscriptions refer to him as Jayachchandra, and folklore refers to him as Jaichand. He was in charge of the Antarvedi nation in the Gangetic plains, which included significant cities like Kannauj and Varanasi.
- He ruled over a large portion of modern-day eastern Uttar Pradesh and some of western Bihar. He was the last strong ruler of his dynasty and was killed in battle in 1194 CE near the Yamuna against an army of Muizzudin Muhammad Ghuri's Ghurids.
- In the ancient legendary book Prithviraj Raso, Jayachandra (also known as Jaichand) is mentioned in a fictional story. He was said to have been Prithviraj Chauhan, another Indian kingopponent.
- In response to his daughter Samyukta's unwilling elopement with Prithviraj, he formed an alliance with the foreign Ghurids to bring about Prithviraj's demise. Because of this account, the name "Jaichand" came to be associated with the word "traitor" in northern Indian folklore.
