Hammira Deva
Hammira Deva was the Chauhan king of Ranthambore in eastern Rajasthan from about 1283 to 1301, the last ruler of the Chahamanas of Ranastambhapura. He raided Malwa and Mewar, and sheltered Mongol rebels who had fled Alauddin Khalji's army; Alauddin besieged Ranthambore for months and took it in 1301, when Hammira was killed. He became a hero of Rajput legend through works such as the Hammira Mahakavya.
