               Diplomatic Relationship of Garhwal King Ajeypal with Kumaon Kings

                Champawat King Kirtichand attacked on Garhwal. Kirtichand did not expire before 1505 as his last inscription is found dated 1505.

    The Son of Kirtichand, Pratap Chand did not expand or tried to expand his ruling territory but was more interested in consolidating the same. Tara Chand (1517-1533) the son of Pratap Chand did not take any remarkable step. The historians have got seven inscriptions of Vishnu Chand or Bhishma Chand (1511, 1512, 1514, 1519 and 1533). That suggests Pratap Chand and Bhishma Chand or Vishnuchand was same.

           Heir of Vishnu Chand Manekchand offered shelter to Khawaskhan the rebellion of Badshah Islam Shah.

                There is no record or folklore those suggests infighting between Kumaon Kings and Garhwal King Ajeypal.  That suggests that Ajeypal and contemporary Kumaon Kings (Champwat, Doti, Askot Kings etc) were busy in consolidating their own Kingdoms.
