In 1728 an attack by Sarbuland Khan, Mughal Viceroy of Gujarat, was repulsed by RaoDeshalji I, and, in 1765Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhorowas, by a timely display of the strength of the fortifications, induced to withdraw. During the civil troubles of the reign of the RaoRayadhan III, Bhuj was thrice taken, by Meghji Seth in 1786, by Hansraj in 1801, and byFateh Muhammadin 1808. On the 26th March 1819, the hill fort of Bhujia was captured by a British detachment under Sir William Keir.
