Musunuri Prolaya Nayaka
Musunuri Prolaya Nayaka was a Telugu warrior and founding ruler of the Musunuri Nayaka line. After the Delhi Sultanate overthrew the Kakatiya kingdom of Warangal in 1323 and captured its king Prataparudra, his ministers rallied the scattered Telugu nayakas and chose Prolaya as their leader.
His Vilasa grant of 1330 presents him as having restored the order of Prataparudra's days. On his death his cousin Kapaya Nayaka carried on the revolt and took Warangal in 1336.
