Pratapgarh Estate

This article is about the estate. For its eponymous state in Rajasthan, see Pratapgarh State.

Pratapgarh was an estate (taluqdari) of Oudh, British India. ^[1] The Taluqdari was controlled by the Somvanshi clan of Rajputs. Now it is part of Pratapgarh district in Uttar Pradesh, India. The rulers of the estate were originally ruling from a place known as Taroul or Tiroul near Allahabad. The ancestor of the family was Babu Sujan Shah, son of Raja Sangram Shah of Tiroul. ^[2] Later a descendant, Babu Pratap Singh (1628–1682) came to the region known as Rampur and built a fort, and gave the city its current name, Pratapgarh. ^[3]
