Vijaypala belonged to Chandravanshi Yaduvanshi Jadaun Rajput rulers who trace their descent to Surasena dynasty of Mathura and their exit is from by Raja Brahm Pal in 900 AD. He ruled the present day areas corresponding to Karauli, Dholpur and Bharatpur. He is mentioned in an inscription dated 1043 AD and is credited with the construction of Bayana fort (also known as Vijaymandirgarh or Bijai Garh).

Battle with Abu Bakr Kandhari
The Bayana fort was stormed by Abu Bakr Kandhari in 1047 AD. The Rajputs were defeated and their women committed jauhar in the fort. Abu Bakr was also killed fighting and his grave is present outside Bayana. The Rajputs moved further south and his successor Tahanpala (also called Tribhuvanpala or Tawanpal) constructed Timangarh fort.
