Kampilideva

Kampilideva was the second and last king of the Kampili kingdom, succeeding his father Singeya Nayaka III in 1300. With his son Kumara Rama he fought wars against the Kakatiyas, the Hoysalas and the Delhi Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq.

In 1327/1328 Tughlaq's armies invaded the kingdom. When defeat became certain the royal women performed jauhar, and Kampilideva and Kumara Rama fell fighting. Its fall preceded the rise of the Vijayanagara Empire under Harihara and Bukka.
