'''Ramshah Tomar''' (born '''Ramsingh Tomar''') was the last [[Tomaras of Gwalior|Tomara]] [[Rajput]] king of [[Gwalior]].<ref>B. D. Misra, Forts and fortresses of Gwalior and its hinterland, Page 50<br />
</ref> Owing to his valour, [[Udai Singh II|Udai Singh]] married one of his daughter to Ramshah's son [[Shalivahan Singh Tomar]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Tomars of Gwalior by Harihar Niwas Dwivedi|publisher=Vidyamandir Publications|year=1983|location=Gwalior|pages=194}}</ref><br />

After being defeated by [[Akbar]] in Gwalior, he continued offering resistance to mughals from his maternal home Mewar and later on died fighting in the Battle of Haldighati.<br />
<br />
[[ʽAbd al-Qadir Badayuni|Abd al-Qadir Badayuni]], a Mughal historian who fought against Ramshah in the [[Battle of Haldighati]] praised him in his book as follows - <br />
<br />
"I saw a warrior who left the battle of the elephants on the right, reached the main part of the Mughal army and carried out terrifying manslaughter there. Ramshah, the grandson of the famous Raja [[Man Singh Tomar|Man Singh]] of Gwalior, who always remained in Rana's Haraval (front row), showed such valor which is beyond the power of writing. Due to his powerful attack, the Rajputs of [[Man Singh I|Mansingh]] kachwaha on the left side of Haraval had to flee and take shelter of the Sayyids of the right side, which also caused [[Asaf Khan I|Asaf Khan]] to flee. If the Sayyid people had not kept fighting at that time, then the runaway army of the Haraval (front row) had created such a situation that we would have faced a shameful defeat."<ref>{{Cite book|title=Tomars of Gwalior by Harihar Niwas Dwivedi|publisher=Vidyamandir Publications|year=1983|location=Gwalior|pages=243–249}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak|Abul fazl]], the grand Vizier of [[Akbar]], wrote in his [[Akbarnama]] - <br />
<br />
"These two (Ramshah & [[Shalivahan Singh Tomar|Shalivahan]]) were friends of war and enemies of life, who had made life cheap and honour expensive. Battling with valour, Ramshah, his three sons - [[Shalivahan Singh Tomar|Shalivahan Singh]], Bhavani Singh, Pratap Singh, his grandson - Balbahadur and 300 of his Tomar followers were all martyred. Not a single brave man of the [[Tomar clan|Tanwar clan]] survived the war."<ref>{{Cite book|title=Tomars of Gwalior by Harihar Niwas Dwivedi|publisher=Vidyamandir Publications|year=1983|location=Gwalior|pages=243–249}}</ref><br />
<br />
Owing to their Valour and devotion, Two Chhatris (Memorials) were made by Maharana Karan Singh (grandson of Maharana Pratap) in Rakt Talai for Ramshah Tomar and [[Shalivahan Singh Tomar]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Tomars of Gwalior by Harihar Niwas Dwivedi|publisher=Vidyamandir Publications|year=1983|location=Gwalior|pages=243–249}}</ref><br />
