Deogarh (Gond kingdom)

The Gond kings of Deogarh held the Chhindwara plateau and the Nagpur plain. Bakht Buland founded Nagpur, and the Bhonsle Raghoji I, called in during a succession dispute, made Burhan Shah a pensioner and founded the Bhonsle kingdom of Nagpur (Wikipedia gives 1739; Raghoji's control is usually dated 1743).

Dates for the early rulers are uncertain.
