Question

Which Rajput clan once ruled over Bundelkhand?

Answer 1

In the 12th century, the Rajput Chauhan rulers of Ajmer challenged the Chandelas. The Muslim conquests of the early 13th century reduced the Chandela domains, although they survived until the 16th century as minor chieftains. Bundela Rajputs grew to prominence starting in the 16th century. Orchha was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela chief Rudra Pratap Singh, who became the first raja of Orchha. In 1545 Sher Shah Suri, was killed while attempting to capture Kalinjar from the local Chandela king.
