Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c11.s1.2

v1.c11.s1.2

In Jaipur the struggle raged between Ishwari Singh (reign 1743—1750) and his younger brother Mādho Singh, the latter claiming to set aside the eldest-born of his father on the ground of his own mother having been the Mahārāna’s daughter, to whose offspring Jai Singh had promised the succession at the time of marrying her. Ishwari Singh held his own during his life time by heavy concessions to his brother, and it was only after his death without issue that the throne passed to Mādho Singh.
