Serfoji III was an adopted son of the last Maratha ruler of Thanjavur, Shivaji II and pretender to the throne of Thanjavur.
Nine year old Vijaya Bai assumed the title of Queen of Tanjore on 31 October 1855 after the British refused to recognise the claims of Serfoji III, an adopted son of Shivaji II, but she had little authority in the kingdom apart from certain customary privileges.
