History of Mediaeval Hindu India (being a History of India from 600 to 1200 A.D.) v3.c34.4

v3.c34.4

Of Pṛithvīrāja III or the last we will speak in a separate chapter; for his conflict with Shihabuddin Ghori must be treated in great detail as it ended in the final overthrow of Northern India and in effect of the whole of this country. His date of accession may be, as we shall show later on, taken to be about 1175 A. D. From Durlabha whose reign may be taken to begin in A. D. 973 down to Prithvīrāja III whose reign began in 1175 A. D. we have thirteen kings and a period of about 202 years giving an average of 15½ years per king. In the previous section of the genealogy, as the reader may remember, we took, for fixing dates, an average of 15 years.
