The most prominent and historically significant royal family of Assam was the Ahom dynasty, which ruled the region for over six centuries, from 1228 AD to 1826 AD. They established a powerful and independent kingdom in the Brahmaputra Valley, with their capital at various points including Charaideo, Garhgaon, and later Rangpur (modern-day Sivasagar).
Origin of the Ahom Royal Family:
-
The Ahoms were originally from Mong Mao (present-day Yunnan province in China) and were led by Sukaphaa, the founder of the Ahom kingdom.
-
Sukaphaa entered Assam in 1228 AD and gradually established the Ahom dynasty through diplomacy and warfare.
-
The dynasty continued for nearly 600 years, resisting invasions and expanding their territory.
