Majhauli Raj was the seat of an eponymous Bisen/Visen feudal estate known as the Majhauli Raj, which is said to have been founded around 1100 to 1300 CE. King Vishwa Sen (Estimated Around 1000 to 1200 BCE), one of the sole king of Malla Desh or Malla Bhumi or Malla Rastra (Later known as Malla Mahajanpada), had ruled prior to Mahajanpad Era from Kushinagar as capital of eastern Koshala. Later one of descendant of King Vishwa Sen (i.e.most probably 86th generation) King Bhim Malla went to conquer the pargana of Salempur, Uttar Pradesh and Majhauli, where he founded a fort and established the Majhauli Raj around 1100 to 1300 CE..The Bisens are Suryavanshi Rajputs descendants of Lord Ram's brother Laxman's younger son Chandraketu. Who was given the title of "Malla" due to his extraordinary talent in Malla Yudha.Thats why they use Malla as their surname.They were the rulers of Malla Desh. One King Raja Maan Singh is given credit for establishing Gonda. The bisens are prominent suryavanshi rajputs of Purvanchal. They ruled a Vast territory in the Past. The City of Unnao was also founded by the Bisen King Thakur Unwant Singh. The Bisen Rajputs are a prominent Rajput clan known for their valor, heritage, and governance. Originating primarily from Uttar Pradesh, India, they trace their lineage to the Suryavanshi dynasty and are historically associated with rulers who upheld dharma and justice. Renowned for their martial prowess and cultural contributions, the Bisen Rajputs have played significant roles in regional history. ‪ . Later many kings who were of Majhauli Kingdom established many estates of names Manakpur (Estate), Bhadri ,(Estate),Raja Madhav Mall (Madhuban), Kalakankar (Estate) and many more in north India.[2][6]

In 1774, the raja of Majhauli, Ajit Mal, openly refused to pay revenue to the amil (collector) in Gorakhpur, crossing over into Bihar whenever the officials attempted to collect payment. He also gave refuge to the Kurmis of Pachlakh, who were openly in arms against the British East India Company. In 1777, Ajit Mal also refused to pay revenues to the British for his lands in Bihar. The British, already beleaguered by the ongoing rebellion of Fateh Sahi of the Huseypur (Hathwa) raj, were initially unwilling to go after Ajit Mal: while they charged Fateh Sahi "guilty of the atrocious crime of premeditated murder and rebellion", they held Ajit Mal guilty of "no offence". When the authorities in Gorakhpur in Oudh State asked for assistance in pursuing Ajit Mal, the British refused. However, when the Gorakhpur authorities offered to join the fight against Fateh Sahi if the British helped them capture Ajit Mal, the British quickly agreed. They were, however, unsuccessful in both measures.[5]
