Maharana Pratap Singh was one of those kings who bring honor to the whole Sisodiya clan and his son Rana Amar Singh I continued his throne with full dedication and became a mighty and kind hearted king of Mewar.  Rana Amar Singh I was the 13th Rana of Sisodiya Dynasty and rule the kingdom of Mewar. He ruled the kingdom until his death and was the successor of Maharana Pratap Singh.

About his birth and childhood life

Rana Amar Singh was the son of Maharana Pratap Singh and Queen Ajabde Punwar. He was their eldest son and the real successor of Maharana’s throne. His father was the son of Maharana Udai Singh II, and his mother was the daughter of Rao Mamrakh Panwar. Ajabde was the first wife of Maharana Pratap eldest in all queens. The birth place of Rana Amar Singh was Chittor, and he was born in 1559 on 16th March.

Rana Amar Singh was raised in Chittor, but unfortunately, they lost it to Akbar at the time of his birth and after that his grandfather Maharana Udai Singh shifted his kingdom in Udaipur. 

Prince, Commander, and war

When Mewar was conquered by Akbar, Maharana Pratap fought many war and battle against the Mughals to get back all his lost kingdoms. As Amar Singh was the eldest son of Maharana, so he was declared as a successor and prince of Mewar. Rana Amar Singh was a very furious warrior and very skilled and trained in many weapons. He was considered a perfect successor for his kingdom Mewar as he fought in the war against Mughals with bravery and courage.

There is an incident in which Rana Amar Singh bought some women with Officers of Mughals to his father and that time present Maharana of Mewar. When Maharana Pratap sees women with his son he scolded him and asked him to take them back with safety to the Mughals camp and by seeing this, Mughal officer felt a respect for Maharana Pratap and he doped the idea of attacking Pratap and from that moment he left his position and on his position Akbar assigned his son Salim as his general.
After the death of his father, Amar Singh became the king of Mewar and later fought many wars against Mughals but face defeat against them. But after the Mughal Emperor died Jahangir gave all the territories which belong to Mewar. After a long time, Amar Singh passed away in the year 1620 on 26th January and after him his son gets his throne.
