When Udai Singh passed away in 1572, there was a lot of chaos.
Rani Dheer Bai Bhatiyani wanted her son Jagmal to be the next king, but courtiers said Pratap, being the eldest, should be the king.
Thus Pratap Singh became the 54th ruler of Mewar - Maha Rana Pratap

Jagmal didn't like this at all. He was angry and decided to go to Akbar, the tyrant Mughal emperor, for help.

Akbar wanted to control a path to Gujarat through Mewar & he did his best to negotiate with Rana Pratap and make him a vassal but the proud Rana refused.
War became inevitable and culminated in the Battle of Haldighati in 1576. Mughals were lead by fellow Rajput Man Singh.
Rajputs fought with crazed valor but Mughals prevailed in a stalemate
Rana escaped with his life on his favorite steed Chetak to fight another day

To keep his father's last wish Amar Singh kept fighting and inflicted loss upon loss on Mughals.
Finally, in 1616, Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Amar Singh met for negotiations and in the peace treaty Chittor was given back to Rajputs.
