Jaitpur State was a princely state in the Bundelkhand region. It was centered on Jaitpur, in present-day Mahoba district, Uttar Pradesh, which was the capital of the state.[1] There were two forts in the area.
The last Raja died without issue and Jaitpur State was subsequently annexed by the British Raj.
History[]
Jaitpur state was founded in 1731 by Jagat Rai, son of the famous Bundela Rajput leader Chhatrasal, as a division of Panna State. In 1765 Ajaigarh State was separated from Jaitpur. Following the British occupation of Central India Jaitpur became a British protectorate in 1807.
When Khet Singh, the state's last ruler, died without issue in 1849, the principality was annexed by the British.[2][3]
