Siege of Ranthambore (1226)
The siege of Ranthambore was a military campaign led by Delhi Sultan Iltumish in the year 1226. At the time, the region of Ranthambore was part of the Delhi Sultanate's domain, following the reign of Qutb-ud-Din Aibak. However, after Aibak's demise, the Rajputs, led by Balhana, declared their independence. In response, Iltumish initiated an expedition, successfully vanquishing the Chauhans of Ranthambore under Balhana. The Sultanate's forces efficiently laid siege to the fortress and subsequently incorporated Ranthambore into the Delhi Sultanate.
