Jagmal Singh was a sixteenth century Indian prince and court figure. He was the son of Maharana Udai Singh II and Rani Dheerbai Bhattiyani.[1]

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 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.[5] His brother in law Rao Surtran became his enemy after this. He was killed on 17th October 1583 at the Battle of Dattani.[6][7]
