Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c11.s1.7

v1.c11.s1.7

The next king of Jaipur, Ishwari Singh (r. 1743-1750), lacked his father's courage and cleverness, though he inherited most of his vices. He was a weak-minded man, liable to sudden and capricious changes of opinion under the lead of rogues or fools. The exceptional capacity and devotion of several hereditary officers of his house often saved his troops in battles, where their chieftain's cowardice and incompetence would have ruined them, as he had covered them with shame and loss on the field of Mānupur (1748.)
