Chanderi fort

Ghiyas ud din Balban captured the city in 1251 for Nasiruddin Mahmud, Sultan of Delhi.

In 1520 Rana Sangha of Mewar captured the city, and gave it to Medini Rai, a rebellious minister of Sultan Mahmud II of Malwa.

He ruled on chanderi for 11 years, and in 1540 it was captured by Sher Shah Suri, and added to the governorship of Shujaat Khan.

The Bundela Rajputs captured the city in 1586, and it was held by Ram Sab, a son of Raja Madhukar of Orchha.

In 1680 Devi Singh Bundela was made governor of the city with his commander in chief and prime minister of chanderi state Maharaja Chaubey Bhim singh, and Chanderi remained in the hands of his family until it was annexed in 1811 by Jean Baptiste Filose for the Maratha ruler Daulat Rao Sindhia of Gwalior.
