Foundation and early history

The Sangama Dynasty was founded by Harihara I and Bukka,[4]

though there are many debated theories ofhow the dynasty was truly

founded. One theory states that Bukka and Hakka were born from the

Kuruba Gowda[1][2][3] clan and commanders ofthe King of

Warangal's army,[4] where after the King ofWarangal was defeated

by Muhammad bin Tughlaq, he captured both Bukka and his brother

as prisoners and send them to Delhi were both were forced to follow

Islam. However, Bukka and Hakka eventually escaped and retained

their Hindu traditions and founded the Vijayanagara Empire under the

influence ofthe Brahmin sage Vidyaranya. Another account says that

the brothers were instead in connection with the Hoysalas and were

born from Karnataka near the Hampi territory, and that they were the

successors to the Hoysala sovereignty by natural process. Harihara,

the first emperor extended the Vijayanagara lands from Kaveri to

Krishna, though he continually come into conflict with the Bahamani

sultans. Afterwards he was succeeded by his brother Bukka, who

continually expanded the empire throughout south India. This included

conquering Madhurai and extending his territory into the south all the

way to Rameswaram, defeating the Shambuvaraya Kingdom ofArcot

and the Reddis ofKondavidu, conquering Goa and the kingdom of

Odisha, as well as forcing Ceylon and Malabar to pay tributes to the

empire.

Bukka's successor, Harihara II, continued Bukka's campaign through southern India and managed to take control

ofcoastal Andhra between Nellore and Kalinga and conquer the Addanki and Srisailam areas as well as most of

the territory between the peninsula to the south ofthe Krishna River. Harihara II also managed to conquer many

Indian ports such as that ofGoa, Chaul, and Dabhol.

After Harihara II died the throne was in conflict between Virupaksha Raya, Bukka Raya II, and Deva Raya of

which Deva Raya eventually would come out as victor. During his reign, Deva Raya managed to successfully

control the vast amount ofterritory in the empire. The kings after Deva Raya on the other hand did not manage to

do anything significant at all for the kingdom. This was until Deva Raya II, who would bring about the golden age o

the Sangama Dynasty. Under Deva Raya II's rule, the empire would succeed in completely conquering southern

India such as conquering Kondavidu, defeating the ruler ofQuilon as well as other chieftains, extending the empire

from Odisha to Malabar and from Ceylon to Gulbarga, and also taking over a lot ofthe major Indianports.

However after Deva Raya II, his incompetent successors would eventually lead to the destruction ofthe dynasty

with the Bahamani Kingdoms continually taking over much ofthe Vijayanaga territory. Virupaksha Raya II was th

last emperor ofthe dynasty.
