Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) united various Sikh misls (confederacies) and founded the Sikh Empire in Punjab in the early 19th century.

Guru Nanak was the founder of Sikh religion (15th-16th century), Guru Gobind Singh was the 10th Sikh Guru who formalized the Khalsa, and Guru Tegh Bahadur was the 9th Guru - none of these founded a political kingdom.
