Raja Hasan Khan Mewati (died 17 March 1527) was a Muslim Khanzada Rajput ruler of Mewat.[1][2][3] The son of previous ruler Raja Alawal Khan, his dynasty had ruled Mewat State for nearly 200 years. He was a descendant of Raja Nahar Khan Mewati, who was the Wali of Mewat in 14th century.
He was the Rajput chieftain whose ancestors had been ruling the region of Mewat for almost two centuries and had declared himself as a sovereign king. Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire had stated that Hasan Khan Mewati was the leader of the ‘Mewat country’. He joined the Rajput Confederation with 5,000 allies in the Battle of Khanwa, where he was killed in the battle by Mughal forces led by Babur. He also re-constructed the Alwar fort in 15th century.
