Towards the end of the 16th century, a [[Gautam Rajput]] from Azamgarh district was assimilated into the [[Mughal empire|Mughal]] court at [[Delhi]], where he had gone in search of greater influence. His mission was a success, with the royal court eventually awarding him 22 [[pargana]]s in the Azamgarh region that marked the establishment of a family line which culminated in his descendants becoming [[raja]]s of the area. This was a typical route whereby relatively obscure lineages rose to prominence.<ref>{{cite book |title=Kin, Clan, Raja, and Rule: Statehinterland Relations in Preindustrial India |first=Richard Gabriel |last=Fox |publisher=University of California Press |year=1971 |isbn=978-0-52001-807-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FHEcBTmxlOEC |pages=106–107}}</ref>
