Apart from this, under the Pala dynasty, Guwahati was the capital until the 10th or 11the century. However, the Ahom Kings from the seat of Borphukan are stated to have been the most fearless rulers of the city. Quite interestingly, the Mughals tried to invade Assam as much as seventeen times but were defeated by the mighty Ahom warriors. However, the city was under the Burmese rule from the year 1817 to 1826.
