The Kingdom of ''[[Kangleipak]]'' with written constitution was established in 1110 by Loiyumba, who a local tribal ruler who incorporated most neighboring principalities.<ref name="PT">Phanjoubam Tarapot, ''Bleeding Manipur'', Har Anand Publications (30 July 2007) {{ISBN|978-8124109021}}</ref> The Kangleipak kings expanded their territory, reaching their zenith under king Khagemba (1597–1652). In 1714, a king named Pamheiba adopted [[Hinduism]]. He adopted the name Gharib Nawaz, and in 1724 renamed the kingdom as ''Manipur'' (Sanskrit for "abode of jewels"). Manipur was [[Burmese invasions of Assam|conquered by Burma]] in 1819, and became a princely state within the [[British Raj]] in 1821. On 11 August 1947, Manipur Maharajah Bodhchandra singh signed [[The Instrument of Accession]]<ref>https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Instrument_of_Accession_and_Standstill_Agreement_of_Manipur_to_Dominion_of_India.pdf</ref> agreeing to accede defense, communication and external affairs to [[Dominion of India| Union of India]] on the assurance of autonomy of Manipur and further signed a merger agreement in October 1949 which is disputed to be an agreement made under duress.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Subramanian|first=K.

==Ancient kings==

A number of legendary kings are mentioned in the [[Cheitharol Kumbaba|Royal Chronicle]], written down in the 19th century.''<ref>"The manuscripts collected by W. Yumjao Singh consist of literary, historical, astronomical, astrological and miscellaneous other works of which mention may be made of Cheitharon Kumbaba, the Ningthourol Shingkak, the Poireiton Khunthokpa, Dharani Samhita, Srimat Bhagabat. "The Cheitharol Kumbaba or the royal chronicle has been the most valuable for historical investigations, as it professes to record all the important daily transactions and occurrences of the State... By orders of Jai Singh this book was rewritten as the former copy was no more available then". "The Nigthourol Shingkak is a work written in the way of prediction. It professes to predict all important events that would happen from the time of Khagemba downward. It, therefore, professes to be a work of the early 17th century. It is an anonymous work, and in this book, we see for the first time Gharib Niwaz's having had some Naga connection in his childhood." Jyotirmoy Roy, History Of Manipur, 1958, p. 8.</ref>''

The Cheitharol Kumbaba begins with '''Nongda Lairen Pakhangba''' ([[Ningthouja dynasty]]).

Jai Singh was shortly replaced by Shoobal Singh, a brother of Kara Singh.<ref>Jyotirmoy Roy, History Of Manipur (1958),[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.98685/page/n77 p. 61].</ref>
