The early history of Rohtas is obscure. According to the local legends, the Rohtas hill was named after the Rohitāśva, a son of the legendary king Harishchandra.
A 1223 CE (1279 VS) inscription suggests that Rohtasgarh was in possession of one Shri Pratapa. The inscription states that he defeated a "Yavana" army;
Shri Pratapa (Śrī-Pratāpa) as a member of the Khayaravala dynasty, In 1539 CE, the Fort of Rohtas passed out of the hands of the Hindu kings into those of Sher Shah Suri.
Sher Shah Suri had just lost the Fort at Chunar in a fight with the Mughal emperor Humayun and was desperate to gain a foothold for himself.
Sher Shah requested the ruler of Rohtas that he wanted to leave his women, children and treasure in the safety of the fort, while he was away fighting in Bengal.
The king agreed and the first few palanquins had women and children. But the later ones contained fierce Afghan soldiers,
who captured Rohtas and forced the Hindu king to flee. During the Sher Shah's reign 10000-armed men guarded the fort.
In 1558 AD, Raja Man Singh, Akbar's general and governor, ruled Rohtas. As the Governor of Bengal and Bihar,
he made Rohtas his headquarters in view of its inaccessibility and other natural defenses. He built a splendid palace for himself,
renovated the rest of the fort, cleared up the ponds and made gardens in Persian style.
The palace was constructed in a north-south axis, with its entrance to the west with barracks for soldiers in front. The fort is still in a fairly good condition.
