Prince Bahadur Shah (Nepali: बहादुर शाह) was the youngest son of King Prithvi Narayan Shah of modern Nepal. He became the regent of Nepal for a brief period after the death of his predecessor Queen Rajendra Laxmi of Nepal and accelerated his father's campaign for the conquest of the small and scattered Hindu nations of the Himalayas into Modern day Nepal. Despite his many conquests, he also started the tradition of beheading fellow courtiers against his father's advice which would eventually cause him to meet the same fate later. This, along with the political turmoil created in Nepal after his death eventually led to the rise of Bhimsen Thapa and the Anglo-Nepal War.
