Vagbhatta Fought Twice Against Ulugh Khan (Balban), in 1248 and 1253, and was Victorious in both occasions.
He was so powerful that even muslim historians Call him As "Greatest of the Rais of Hindustan"
It's Shameful, the General public knows Nothing about him Today.

Vagbhatta Died Sometime After 1253, and was Succeeded by His son Jaitrasimha.
Malik un Nawab Attacked him in Feb-march 1259.
Jaitrasimha must have Emerged Victorious, because Muslim historians Describe the attack, but they're Suspiciously Silent About the Result.

Jaitrasimha had 3 Sons, last of whom was Hammir dev Chauhan, Who was Annointed in 1282 AD.
Unfortunately, Hamir was The last of His line.
Story of Hamir Dev Chauhan Will be told in a Separate thread In Future.
