Viralakshmi
Viralakshmi also called Narpatindralakshmi (10th-century - 11th-century), was a queen of the Khmer Empire, married to king Suryavarman I (r. 1006–1050) of the Khmer Empire. Her name Viralakshmi means ‘blessed with wealth of braveness ’. She is recorded as a relative of Harshavarman I, but her precise relationship to him is not specified. She was in any event a member of the ''kamratem an'' or elite of the polity Vrai Kanlong, ‘forest of the kanlong’, and the sister of Narapatindravarman and Bhuvanaditya. She was possibly a daughter of Jayaviravarman, or a sister of Harshavarman I and Iśanavarman II. Suryavarman I is noted to have ‘offered a tiara, earrings, clothes of gold, and all sorts of finery, and he also offered a covered palanquin of gold’ to Viralakshmi when he proposed marriage to her. Her brothers Narapatindravarman and Bhuvanaditya were given great privileges, and the latter made prince of Vanapura. The marriage is believed to have been of grea ...

Vijayendralakshmi
Vijayendralakshmi (11th-century – 12th-century), was a queen of the Khmer Empire, married to king Jayavarman VI (r. 1080–1107) and king Dharanindravarman I (r. 1107–1113) of the Khmer Empire. She was born in Amalakasthala and the younger sister of Nrpendradhipativarman, who was the head of the army. It is possible that her brother Nrpendradhipativarman helped Jayavarman VI in a campaign against Harshavarman III or his successor, and that she and her brother were the children of Udayadityavarman II or one of the two younger sisters of queen Viralakshmi, and that she brought with her the sovereignty over Yaśodharapura. She was described as ‘the receptacle of riches, beauty, eloquence and affection’, and ‘because she was considered the fruit of Fortune and Victory akshmi and vijaya she bore the name Vijayendralakshmi’.

Suryavarman I
Suryavarman I ( km, សូរ្យវរ្ម័នទី១; posthumously ''Nirvanapada'') was king of the Khmer Empire from 1006 to 1050. Suryavarman usurped King Udayadityavarman I, defeating his armies in approximately 1002. After a protracted war with Udayadityavarman's would-be successor, Jayavirahvarman, Suryavarman I claimed the throne in 1010. Suryavarman was a Mahayana Buddhist who was also tolerant of the growing Theravada Buddhist presence in the Khmer kingdom. Biography Suryavarman I established diplomatic relations with the Chola dynasty of south India (Tamilnadu) around 1012. Suryavarman I sent a chariot as a present to the Chola Emperor Rajaraja Chola I. It seems that the Khmer king Suryavarman I requested aid from the powerful Chola Emperor Rajendra Chola against the Tambralinga kingdom.Kenneth R.

Jayavirahvarman
Jayaviravarman is a king who reigned over the Khmer Empire from 1002 to 1011 AD. The origin of this prince is uncertain: According Achilles Dauphin-Meunier, he was the rightful successor and brother of Udayadityavarman I, who lives climbing the pretensions of a usurper, Suryavarman I, but managed to stay in Yaçodhapura. George Coedès, who considers him a usurper, believes that Jayaviravarman was the prince of the city of Tambralinga (Nakhon Si Thammarat in Thailand), and that he takes power and reigns in Angkor. MJ Boisselier awards him Ta Keo. In any case, Jayaviravarman disappears after a nine-year civil war.

11th-century Cambodian Women
The 11th century is the period from 1001 ( MI) through 1100 ( MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine power and a rise of Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical Chinese civilization, science and technology, and classical Islamic science, philosophy, technology and literature. Rival political factions at the Song dynasty court created strife amongst t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
