# Sahib Singh of Patiala

> Sahib Singh (1773-1813) was the third ruler and the Raja-e-Rajgan of the Patiala. Singh's reign was noted for the power and influence wielded by his sister, Sahib Kaur, who served as his Prime Minister and the General of Patiala's army. He was also a member of the Phulkian dynasty. In 1809, Singh allied with and pledged loyalty to the British Empire. In historiography, Sahib Singh is regarded as an incompetent ruler that ruined the state's administration, with Lepel H. Griffin writing a disparaging account of Sahib Singh's reign, describing him as a puppet. However, the accuracy of the account is questioned on its veracity, as important events such as the Maratha clashes, Ranjit Singh's expeditions, and the 1809 treaty occurred during his reign.
