  • Comment: Instead of linking to a Google Books search result, please provide a page number in the book you use as a source. The "Memoirs on the History, Folk-Lore, and Distribution ..." source does not appear to be useful here – publications from the British Raj are generally not good sources for anything related to Indian clans or castes, and following the link, all I get is a page where the phrase "Bisen Rajputs" occurs, which is not at all the same thing as a source for the information. bonadea contributions talk 11:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Bisen, alternatively spelled as Vishen or Visen, is a Kshatriya(Rajput) clan from India.[1][2]

Territories ruled by Bisens

[edit]

The Bisens held many taluqdari and zamindari estates in Awadh and surrounding regions. Majhauli Raj in Deoria(area of the ancient Malla Mahajanapada) was ruled by Bisen Rajputs. [3][4]
