Pre 1000 A.D.

As with many ancient dynasties of the World the origin of the Pal dynasty is shrouded in mystery and over the centuries much research has been done on the subject with no real satisfactory result, it is impossible to reject or approve of any one theory.

Amongst the many versions of the origin of the dynasty some declare that the Pals are descendents of the Pal Emperors of Bengal while some mention that the original home was near Poona and another idea was put forth by the British after their arrival in Kutlehar was that the originator of the family came from Sambhal.

As with the theories of origin there are also many versions of the reason of the need to come to the North, some mention that after losing nearly all of the empire the Monarch came on a pilgrimage, whereas some mention that as the younger brother of the King had taken over the Empire therefore the King left for the hills

Whatever the theories of origin, all agree that the foundation of the dynasty lies in the pre 1000s and the Kutlehar Kingdom was established during the early tenth century.
