Sir Rajinder Singh GCSI (25 May 1872 – 8 November 1900) was the Maharaja of the princely state of Patiala from 1876 to 1900. During his reign, Singh was noted for his military service, tense relations with the British Raj, marriage to an Irish woman named Florence Bryan, and his contributions to sports both as a player and financial benefactor.[1][2] Singh was regarded as the leader of the Sikh community and the premier Maharaja in Punjab.[3]
