Legendary accounts state that from 1200 CE, many Rajput groups moved eastwards towards the Eastern Gangetic plains forming their own chieftaincies.[1] These minor Rajput kingdoms were dotted all over the Gangetic plains in modern-day Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.[2] During this process, petty clashes occurred with the local population and in some cases, alliances were formed.[1] Among these Rajput chieftaincies were the Bhojpur zamindars[3] and the taluks of Awadh.[4]
