There's different accounts of where the Gupta dynasty initially emerged, but even in the early 300s, they really had control of a few small kingdoms. It wasn't until the reign of Chandragupta I that it becomes a significant dynasty. And we need to be careful. Don't confuse this Chandragupta I with Chandragupta Maurya, who founded the Maurya dynasty over 600 years before the time we're talking about. Chandragupta I, it's interesting because he is really able to gain power, not initially through conquest, but through a marriage. He has a marriage with the princess Kumara Devi, and as a dowry, he's given control over much of this region of northeast India, this region of Magadha, and I am always having trouble pronouncing that, so my apologies, including the famous city of Pataliputra, which even in the time of the Maurya Empire and before the Maurya Empire, this was a famous seat of power. But once he's in control of this region, then he and his successors are able to have increased conquests over India.
