PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY:
Subjugated in 1778 by Haidar Ali of Mysore, and further
demands were made in 1784 by Tipu Sultan, which were
rejected. Ramdurg Fort was blockaded and capitulated after
seven months, when the ruler, Venkat Rao, and his family
were taken prisoner and sent to Mysore where they remained
till 1799. He was restored to Nargund, while Ram Rao
received Ramdurg, a division which continued till 1810. A
further division was made by the Peshwa, with the sons of
Sachiv Ramrao, receiving equal shares. Nargund
subsequently lapsed leaving the ruling line of Ramdurg.
