Thekkumkur

Thekkumkur was a kingdom between the Meenachil and Pamba rivers, with its early seat at Manikandapuram. Its Edathil dynasty's kings all bore the name Manikandan.

The court moved to Changanassery in the early fifteenth century and later to Thaliyanthanapuram. The last king, Aditya Varman Manikandan, joined Ambalapuzha and Vadakkumkur against Travancore. Marthanda Varma's general Ramayyan Dalawa took his capital, forcing him to flee to the Zamorin of Kozhikode; Travancore annexed Thekkumkur in 1753.
