Kingdom of Marwar

Rao Maldeo's kingdom after he recovered Jodhpur (1545). The Mughals took Jodhpur fort in 1564; Chandrasen held out in a shrinking domain in the Siwana hills until his death in 1581 (Wikipedia 'Kingdom of Marwar': independent until 1581).

Rao Jodha recovered Mandore (1453) and founded Jodhpur (1459); kinsmen founded Bikaner and Merta. Maldeo recovered Jodhpur after Sher Shah's death (1545).
