Rana Bahadur Shah

Rana Bahadur Shah

Rana Bahadur Shah, King of Nepal (1775-1805) was the third King of Nepal. He succeeded to the throne in 1777 on the death of his father, Pratap Singh Shah. He ruled under the regencies of his mother, Queen Rajendra Laxmi (d. 1785) and then of his uncle, Bahadur Shah. During this time, the kingdom expanded by conquest to include the Garhwal and Kumaon regions, now in India.

In 1799, he abdicated in favor of his infant son Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah Deva to become an ascetic. He was stabbed to death in 1805 by his stepbrother, Sher Bahadur.
