	Rani Karnavati took up the regency in the name of her elder son Vikramaditya, a weak ruler.

	The antagonized nobles were not ready to fight for Vikramaditya and the imminent battle was sure to be another blot in the history of Sisodias. Rani Karnavati wrote to the nobles to come forward for the sake of the honour of the [[Sisodia]]s, and was able to persuade the nobles to fight for Mewar, if not for Vikramaditya. Their sole condition was that Vikramaditya and Uday Singh should go to Bundi during the war for their personal safety. Some later legends say that the Rani also sent a Rakhi to the [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Humayun]], calling him a brother and asking for help. Thus her name became irrevocably linked to the festival of [[Raksha Bandhan]]. However this is not supported by any contemporary writer and modern historians like Satish Chandra consider this to be a fable rather than a historical fact.<ref>History of Medieval India by Satish Chandra pg.212</ref>		The antagonized nobles were not ready to fight for Vikramaditya and the imminent battle was sure to be another blot in the history of Sisodias.
