<br />
[[Daulat Rao Scindia]] died in Lashkar, Gwalior, on 21 March 1827, without an heir (his only son Madhorao Scindia died when 8 months old, in Gwalior in 1812). On his death bed, he left the state and succession in the hands of the British Government, noting his desire that his widow [[Baiza Bai]] was to be treated with respect. Baiza Bai was the queen of Gwalior from 21 March 1827 to 17 June 1827. Jankoji was adopted by Baiza Bai, and ascended the throne on 18 June 1827.<br />
<br />
Jankoji reigned under the regency of Baiza Bai until he came of age and was invested with full ruling powers in December 1832. Jankoji died at Lashkar, Gwalior on 7 February 1843.<br />
