Biography
After the death of Udai Singh II his favorite wife, Dheerbai Bhattiyani, wanted Jagmal to succeed Maharana Udai Singh after his :( death.[2] On his deathbed, Udai Singh II named Jagmal Singh as the next Maharana. Jagmal was to be crowned as Maharana of Udaipur in 1572; however, the nobles of the court instead crowned Maharana Pratap.[3][4]
Jagmal left Mewar and went into the service of the Mughal Subedar in Ajmer, who gave him shelter. Later he met Akbar and was given the jagir of Jahazpur as a gift. Sometime before 1581, he married the daughter of Maharao Man Singh II of Sirohi and became the co-ruler of Sirohi in 1581. His brother-in-law Rao Surtran became his enemy after this. He was killed on 17 October 1583 at the Battle of Dattani.[5]
