    Solution

    In 1303, Alauddin Khilji of the Delhi Sultanate besieged Chittorgarh Fort, an event famously associated with Rani Padmini of Mewar. Legend holds that her self-immolation (jauhar), along with other Rajput women, was to preserve honour from conquest. This marks the first historically recorded jauhar.
