the 1st Gupta king Chandragupta-1 adopted the title of Maharajadhiraja or 'king of kings'. The gupta kings were great generals. Chandragupta-1 was an able conqueror. He also extended his empire trough matrimonial alliances by marrying a Lichchhavi princess. Samudragupta-1 was the son of Chandragupta-1. Much of the information obtained about him is from the Allahabad Pillar Inscription composed by his court poet Harishena. He was a great conqueror and also a patron of art. He further extended his empire upto the Chambal river by defeating the Naga kings of Mathura. this info is from a student History textbook.
