                At the end of fourteenth century there was rule of one King on whole of Garhwal. There were regional chieftains under Garhwal King too. These chieftains used to help Garhwal king for fighting external attacks of Sultanate army or Timur army. The Garhwal King or chieftains used to offer shelters to Sultanate rebellions without fear of Sultan ire.
              Less is known about names of chieftains or kings and their territories. The chieftains and Kings were lacking to make defense strategies for defending Bhabhar, Dehradun and Haridwar.
