			The Maratha Morè clan of Javli or Jayavalli came to prominence early in the 16th century when the first [[Adil Shahi dynasty\|sultan of Bijapur]] granted them the kingdom ([[Jagir]]) of [[Jaoli State\|Javli]].This branch was called the Chandrarao Morè branch of Javli. The ruler of the kingdom had a title of Chandrarao. The first recognized Chandrarao was Raja Parsojiraje Bajirao More who was given the jagir of Javli due to his immense valour of killing a tiger alone in a hunt with Adilshah. Javli, near the modern day hill station of [[Mahabaleshwar]], occupied a strategic position in the eastern foothills of the [[Western Ghats\|Northern Sahyadri mountain range]]. Within 60 miles length of the mountains there are eight passes through which trade flowed from the coastal [[Konkan]] ports of [[Chiplun]] and [[Colaba]] on their way to the inlands of [[Deccan]]. For eight generations, the Morès amassed great fortune by taxing the trade with a help of a force of 12,000 soldiers.<ref>Kulkarni, A.R., 1990. Maratha Policy Towards the Adil Shahi Kingdom.

			===Controversy on conquest of Javli by Shivaji===

			Modern historian [[Dipesh Chakrabarty]] writes about the controversial circumstances in which Javali was obtained by [[Shivaji]], the founder of [[Maratha Empire]] in 1656. Javli was very important to Shivaji Maharaj for the founding of his Kingdom. Upon review of the documents, prominent historian Sarkar concluded that "the acquisition of Javli was the result of deliberate murder and organized treachery on part of Shivaji". However, Chakrabarty says that this conclusion did not sit well with the nationalist historians from Maharashtra of Sarkar's time. This was despite the fact that all the old Hindu biographers agreed that it was an act of premeditated murder.<ref>{{citation \|last=Farooqui \|first=Salma Ahmed \|title=A Comprehensive History of Medieval India: Twelfth to the Mid-Eighteenth Century \|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sxhAtCflwOMC&pg=PA317 \|year=2011 \|publisher=Pearson Education India \|isbn=978-81-317-3202-1 \|page=317}}</ref><ref>{{cite book\|first=Dipesh \|last=Chakrabarty\|title=The Calling of History: Sir Jadunath Sarkar and His Empire of Truth\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4gPhCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA147\|year=2015\|publisher=University of Chicago Press\|isbn=978-0-226-24024-4\|page=147}}</ref> The remaining son of Chandra rao continued his fight against Shivaji by seeking refuge with the Adil shah.
