Jaisal Singh (1113–1168) was the founder and first ruler of the Kingdom of Jaisalmer, ruling from 1156 to 1168 CE. Singh was a Rajput chief of the Bhati clan who lived during the 12th century. A direct descendant of Rao Bhati, the 3rd-century Hindu monarch and the common ancestor of the Bhati Rajputs, Singh rose to power in 1143 by defeating his nephew, Rawal Bhojdeo of Lodhruva, in battle and seizing his nephew's position as Rawal.[1][2]
In 1156, Singh founded the city of Jaisalmer and became the Rawal of the Kingdom of Jaisalmer.[3] Singh's descendants ruled Jaisalmer as Rawal, and later as Maharawal, until India's independence in 1947. Through his other descendants, Singh is the direct ancestor of the Phulkian dynasty and other notable families and individuals.[4][5]
