Shiv Singh (or Sheo Singh) was the Rao of Sikar from 1721 until his death in 1748.
Personal life
Marriage
He had four wives. He married first Mertaniji from Maroth. His second wife Champawatji was from Pali. His third wife also a Mertaniji was from Loonwa. His fourth wife was Bidawatji from Dantru.
Children
He was the father of five sons and a daughter. They were:
By his first wife, he had one son:
- Samrath Singh
By his second wife, he had two sons:
- Kirat Singh. He had a son:
- Padam Singh, born posthumously.
- Medh Singh. He had a son:
- Bhao Singh, born posthumously.
Both Kirat and Medh were killed by their brother Samrath Singh at Fatehpur. When their mother learned of their killing, she wore white, the color worn in mourning, and took her daughters-in-law and left Sikar. When their father, Shiv, came to know of this episode, he arrived just in time from Jaipur and convinced his wife not to go to her paternal home but to stay at Patoda. He sent his daughter-in-laws to their homes. And that's where, in time, they both gave birth to sons. This left Shiv Singh heartbroken, and he never returned to Sikar or Fatehpur afterward.
By his third wife, he had two sons:
- Chand Singh
- Budh Singh
A daughter who was married to Umaid Singh, Rajadhiraj of Shahpura.
Death
He received a serious wound while fighting against the Marathas. Ishwari Singh made prompt arrangements for his treatment and visited him daily. His son Chand Singh stayed with him and took care of him. At first, he was recovering, but later his illness worsened, and he died in 1748.
