In the eleventh century, an influential Rajput named Vijay Pal, the descendant of Dharam Pal of around 800 AD (the introducer of the term Pala and the 77th descent from the Lord Krishna), established as king of Bayana and also founded a new city Vijaymandgarh or Vijaygarh. He was the first claimant of Jadon Rajput family and also claimed that he was the 88th descendant of Lord Krishna, the ruler of the country known as Braj around Mathura., Aijaz Ahmad.
