Madhavrao II

Madhavrao II, also known as Sawai Madhav Rao or Madhav Rao Narayan, was the 12th Peshwa of the Maratha Empire, ascending the throne during infancy. He was the posthumous son of Peshwa Narayanrao, who was murdered in 1773 on the orders of Narayanrao's uncle Raghunathrao. Despite his young age, Madhavrao II was recognized as the legal heir and installed as Peshwa following the Treaty of Salbai in 1782, after the conclusion of the First Anglo-Maratha War.
