The Rajbhar kings ruled mostly over the Eastern part of uttar Pradesh between 10th centuryThe Rajbhar is a Kshatriya caste and also a tribe in India, They are Nagvanshi, called to be a sub clan Suryavanshi Bhardwaj gotra

The kings ruled mostly over the Eastern part of uttar Pradesh between 10th century to 15th century (ruling regions were Bahraich, Varansi, Bhadohi, Shravasti, Jaunpur, Lucknow, Raibareli), bhardohi/bhadohi is named after the Bhar/Rajbhar.

There were many great ruler kings belongs to this warrior group.Maharaja Suhaldev Rajbhar was one of them.

According to Mirat-e-Masudi, Suhaldev belonged to the "Bhar Tharu" community. Subsequent writers have identified his caste variously as "Bhar Rajput", TharuBais Rajput, "Pandav Vanshi Tomar", Jain Rajput, Bharshiv, Tharu Kalhan, Nagavanshi Kshatriya and Visen Kshatriya.

Suhaldev is a Indian king from Shravasti, who is said to have defeated and killed the Ghaznavid general Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud in the early 11th century. He is mentioned in Mirat-i-Masudi, a 17th-century Persian-language historical romance. By Various local and nationalist groups he is respected as a Hindu king who defeated a Muslim invader.

The legend of Salar Masud and Suhaldev is found in the Persian language Mirat-i-Masudi. It is a historical romance, and a biography of Salar Masud, with a "gossipy feel". It was written by Abd-ur-Rahman Chishti during the reign of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (r. 1605-1627).

According to the legend, Suhaldev was the eldest son of King Mordhwaj of Shravasti. In different versions of the legends, he is known by different names, including Sakardev, Suhirdadhwaj, Suhridil, Suhridal-dhaj, Rai Suhrid Dev, Susaj, Suhardal, Sohildar, Shahardev, Sahardev, Suhar Deo, Suhaaldev, Suhildev, Suheldev and Suheldeo.

Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud (born in 1015), a nephew of Mahmud of Ghazni, invaded India at the age of 16. He crossed the Indus river, and conquered MultanDelhiMeerut and finally Satrikh. At Satrikh, he established his headquarters, and dispatched armies to defeat the local kings. Sayyad Saif-ud-din and Mian Rajjab were dispatched to Bahraich. The local Raja of Bahraich and other neighbouring Hindu kings formed a confederation, but an army led by Masud's father Gazi Saiyyed Salar Sahu defeated them. Nevertheless, they continued to threaten the invaders, and therefore, in 1033 CE, Masud himself arrived in Bahraich to check their advance. Masud inflicted defeat after defeat on his enemies, until the arrival of Suhaldev. Suhaldev's army defeated Masud's forces, and Masud was killed in a battle in 1034 CE.

Masud was buried in Bahraich, and in 1035 CE, a dargah was built to commemorate him. many locals and political, social and regional groups claim that the site was once an ashram (hermitage) of the Hindu saint Balark Rishi, and was converted to a dargah by Feroze Tughlaq.

In some versions, Suhaldev is characterized as a nationalist who fought against islamic invaders to protect local people, patron of saints and benefactor of Hindus.In one of these versions, Salar Masud plans to place a herd of cows in front of his army, so that Suhaldev could not attack him (since cows are sacred to Hindus). Suahldev comes to know about this plan, and cuts the cows loose on the night before the battle.

Raja Dal/Dal singh of Raibareli, uttar pradesh was supposed to be the last ruler king of this dynasty. Dalmau of Raibareli is named after the name of king Dal singh.
