His successor Majid Khan was less fortunate. He began by incurring the hostility of the Nizam by neglecting to apply to the latter for investiture on his succession. The consequence was that a Mughal force marched against Savanur and the nawab had to submit. The next treaty was with the Peshwa, in A.D. 1747, to whom Majid Khan had to yield the whole of the country comprised in the present talukas of Bagalkot, Badami, Padshapur, Kittur, Dharwar, Navalgund, Parasgad, Dambal, and others, thirty-six in all, and was permitted to retain Mishrikot, Hubli, Bankapur, Hangal, part of Kod and Ranebennur, and Kundgol, in all twenty-two districts. Besides these the nawab retained the forts of Bankapur, Torgal, and Belgaum, and he seems to have had other territory south of the present Dharwar collectorate.
