Prataparudra II

Prataparudra (c. 12891323), also known as Rudradeva II, was the last ruler in the Kakatiya dynasty. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq's general, Ulugh Khan, occupied Warangal and Prataparudra was sent to Delhi as a captive. He committed suicide along the way.[1]

Prataparuda was the grandson of Rudramadevi. On the death of Rudramadevi, Prataparudra, who was adopted by her as son and as heir-apparent on the advice of her father, Ganapatideva, ascended the throne towards the end of 1289 or the beginning of 1290 CE. Rudramadevi died in Chandupatla village[2] when in battle with Ambadeva, a rebel Kayastha chief. An inscription was found in 1994 at Chandupatla that confirmed the death date of Rudramadevi as 27 November 1289, until which point there had been no certainty.,[3]

Prataparudra's entire reign was spent in fighting wars.[4]
