• 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]
