History
Chhatarpur was founded in 1785 and is named after the Bundela Rajput leader Chhatrasal, the founder of Bundelkhand independence, and contains his cenotaph. The state was ruled by his descendants until 1785. At that time the Ponwar clan of the Rajputs took control of Chhatarpur. The state was guaranteed to Kunwar Sone Singh Ponwar in 1806 by the British Raj. In 1854 Chhatarpur would have lapsed to the British government for want of direct heirs under the doctrine of lapse, but was conferred on Jagat Raj as a special act of grace. The Ponwar Rajas ruled a princely state which was part of the Bundelkhand agency of Central India. The state also contained the British cantonment of Nowgong.[2]
महेवा
महेवा (AS, p.729): भूतपूर्व छतरपुर मध्य प्रदेश में स्थित. बुंदेला-नरेश छत्रसाल के पिता चंपत राय (17 वीं शती का उत्तरार्ध) को यहां की जागीर बंटवारे में अपने पूर्वजों से मिली थी. यह छोटी सी जागीर बुंदेला राजा उदयजीत के पुत्र और पोत्रौं में बटती चली आई थी. जो हिस्सा चंपतराय को मिला उसकी आय केवल ₹350 वार्षिक थी. कविवर भूषण ने 'छत्रसाल दशक' में छत्रसाल को महेवा-महिपाल कहा है-- 'जंगजीत लेवा तऊ ह्वै कै दामदेवाभूप, सेवा लागे करन महेवा-महिपाल की'. महेवा की जागीर ही बढ़कर छत्रसाल की भावी रियासत के रूप में परिणत हो गई.
