This family formed an alliance with the Rathore chief Rao Chunda (r. c. 1383-1424) to defend its chiefdom against the Tughluq dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.

In addition to ruling Mandore, Ranmal also became the administrator of Mewar to assist Maharana Mokal (father of Rana Kumbha).

In 1438, Rana Kumbha decided to end the power sharing arrangement and had Rao Ranmal assassinated in Chittor and captured Mandore.

Fighting near Chittor and a valiant attempt to bar the pursuers at Someshwar Pass resulted in heavy losses amongst Jodha's warriors.

Jodha and Kumbha eventually settled their differences in order to face their common enemies, the Muslim rulers of Malwa and Gujarat.

The now ruined Mandore fort, with its thick walls and substantial size, was built in several stages and was once a fine piece of architecture.
