Rawal Ranasimha also known as Rana Singh was the ruler of the Guhila dynasty in the 12th century. He succeeded his father Vikramsimha.[2] He was succeeded by his son Kshemasimha.
His name became the regnant title of the Kingdom of Mewar who descended from his second son Rahapa.[3] Hammir Singh, a descendant of Rana Singh, became the first ruler of Mewar after the main branch of the family went extinct after the 1303 siege by Alauddin Khalji.[1]
