Medini Rai

The Mughal Army of Babur capture Chanderi fort.

Medini Rai (died 1528) was one of Rana Sanga's most distinguished lieutenants. Chanderi was bestowed upon Medini Rai by Rana Sanga after his contribution in the Battle of Dholpur. Medini Rai was just a small warlord before the battle in Dholpur but he still contributed everything in his power for which he was rewarded by the Rana (he led an army of 2,000 infantry).[1][2] He assisted Rana Sanga in many campaigns against the Sultans of India. Medini Rai was later killed in the Battle of Chanderi against the Mughal emperor Babur, where he was given a chance to surrender but chose to die.[3]
