In Popular Culture, "jaichand" is Always Portrayed as a Traitor to Hindu Cause.

Truth, as always, is something else.

Jayachandra was Born to Gahadawala King Vijaychandra and Queen Chandralekha.

He was the Grandson of Famed Govindachandra of Kannauj Who levied reverse Jaziya on Moslems.
He was declared Crown Prince (Yuvaraja) in 1168 and Was Crowned as King on 21st of June 1170.
He Ruled over One of The Richest Lands in India at That Time.

Muslim Historians Declare him as " The king of Benares was the Greatest King In India, and Possessed largest Territory"
Indologist A. Fuhrer Found an Inscription in Ayodhya Dated to 1184AD, which Praises King Jayachandra Of Kannauj who Erected a Vaishnava (Ram) Temple at Treta-ke-Thakur In Ayodhya.

Ironically, today He is labeled as Traitor to Hindu cause.
The Most Popular Source which Adds to thi myth of Jayachandra Being a Traitor, is Prithviraj Raso of ChandBardai, Which is Grossly Inaccurate.

This theory has been Rejected by All Eminent Historians.
After Defeat of Prithviraj in 1192 AD, Mlecchas Turned their Attention towards Rich kingdom of Kannauj.

A Brutal Battle took Place in 1194 AD, where, Unfortunately Jaichandra was struck by An Arrow and killed.

Later, His Treasury was Looted, and 1000 Temples were Razed.
Jayachandra Ruled over an Extensive territory Including Most of Present Day UP, in South East Upto River son, in East Nearly Upto Patna and Gaya.
Here's the Inscription found by A. Führer, Now in Lucknow Museum.
