PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY: Subjugated in 1778 by Haidar Ali of Mysore, and further demands were made in 1784 by Tipu Sultan, which were rejected. Ramdurg Fort was blockaded and capitulated after seven months, when the ruler, Venkat Rao, and his family were taken prisoner and sent to Mysore where they remained till 1799. He was restored to Nargund, while Ram Rao received Ramdurg, a division which continued till 1810. A further division was made by the Peshwa, with the sons of Sachiv Ramrao, receiving equal shares. Nargund subsequently lapsed leaving the ruling line of Ramdurg.
