The Senas of Makwanpur was a kingdom located in the northern parts of the Mithila region of Nepal.[3][4] For a part of their history, up till 1675, they were subordinate to the Rajas of Darbhanga[5] and paid tribute to them. They were later conquered in 1762 by Prithvi Narayan Shah during his unification of Nepal in the battle of Makwanpur.[6] 60 Gorkhali soldiers suffered casualties and 400 soldiers died on the side of Makwanpur.[6]
The official language of the Sen kings of Makwanpur was Maithili.[7]
