Description

After Deva Raya refused to pay tribute to him, the new Bahmanid Sultan Ala-ud-din sent his brother Mohammad Khan to invade Vijayanagar. The Muslim armies proved superior to the Hindu ones and Deva Raya was soon in retreat. To make peace he sent 20 elephants, 200 dancing girls and a vast sum of money to the Sultan via Mohammad. The Khan was ambitious and Deva Raya secretly supported him in a rebellion against the Sultan, hoping that it would at best install a friendlier monarch and at worst divert their attention for some time.

Description

Alarmed by the success of the Bahmanids, Deva Raya called a general council of the nobility and principal brahmins in 1442 to demand an explanation for his military failures against the smaller and poorer Bahmani Sultanate. The council eventually decided that Muslim victories were due to the stronger horses imported by the Bahmanids and the permanent force of archers maintained by the Sultan. Determined to even the odds, Deva Raya encouraged Muslims to join his army by giving them religious freedom, erecting a mosque in the capital and placing a copy of the Koran before his throne so that they could bow to the King without sinning against their faith. He also required all his soldiers to learn the bow in addition to the pike and lance, and soon had sixty thousand soldiers skilled in archery.

Description

As his reign continued, Deva Raya's brothers realized they were unlikely to inherit the throne. This proved too much for his brother to bear, and he began plotting against the King. Having sent away the guards on a pretext, a messenger invited the King to accompany him to festivities. Feeling ill from dinner, the King declined. The messenger then revealed a hidden dagger and stabbed the King with it repeatedly. Meanwhile, Devaraya's brother systematically slaughtered all his other brothers and government ministers, save only one who was away from the capital. Believing him dead, the assassin was overpowered by the King and a guard and Devaraya was able to catch his brother in the act of declaring himself King. Although Deva Raya outlived his brother, the attempt on his life was ultimately successful. The King lingered on for only a few months before passing away, probably due to the complications of his wounds.

Action A of 249023 - Prataprudra's Folly for Orissa

Description

The priest-king of Orissa, Prataprudra Deva, decided to invade Vijayanagar because of the apparent weakness of its new ruler. Prataprudra's plans did not include an invasion from the north, however. When the Sultan of Bengal invaded Orissa soon afterwards, the Oriya King was forced to rush his army back north. The exhausted forces that returned were no match for Krishnadeva Raya's fresh army and the Oriya were quickly defeated. This easy victory gave Krishadeva a taste for invasion that he sated by invading Orissa twice again, taking new territories each time.
