Narsimhadeva

Narasimhadeva was the third King of the Karnat dynasty of Mithila. Most scholars agree that he came into power around 1174 CE and succeeded his predecessor, Gangadeva.[1]

Rule

The Maithili poet, Vidyapati, referred to Narasimhadeva as "Satyavira" due to how turbulent his reign was. He was engaged in a conflict with the King of Nepal who was his kinsmen. He also showed signs of defiance against Tughral Tughan Khan who responded by carrying out raids in Mithila and capturing Narasimhadeva who was later released in Darbhanga. He also engaged in a conflict with Iwaz Khalji who was the Governor of Bengal who undertook an expedition to Mithila and succeeded in compelling the Karnatas to pay tribute.[2]

Due to this, it has been said that Mithila first felt the presence of Muslim invasions during his reign.[3]

gollark: Maths is good, though - my maths set has a really good teacher and we do (well, did when school was running) interesting and challenging stuff a lot of the time without repeating the same topic over and over again.
gollark: English is awful because we mostly overanalyze literature and write essays and stuff, but we did writing one time and that was fun.
gollark: A lot of the chemistry and physics stuff we do at school is... somewhat interesting at first, but we end up going over it again and again and doing endless worksheets for some reason, which is not very interesting.
gollark: They might actually be actively negative in some areas, since for quite a lot of people being forced to learn the boring stuff they don't care about will make them ignore the interesting bits.
gollark: Personally I figure that schools are wildly inefficient at actually transmitting knowledge and skills anyway, so meh.
