Tangier, Morocco 1304-1377), thefourteenth-century Arabtraveller, in his chronicles records that a family feudbetween ?father andson?? invited the Nawab Jamal-ud-din of Honavar to invadeGoa in 1344. Thishe apparently refers to one of the sons of Kadamba kingBiradeva(1328-1345), who wrote to the Nawab Jamaluddin of Honavarinviting him toseize Sindabur, i.e.: Chandrapura (where Biradeva's crownedprince wasassisting in administering the city while Biradeva and hisother son werestationed at Govapura), promising that he would embraceIslam and marry theNawab's sister. Jamaluddin, accordingly equipped a fleet of52 sailingvessels to attack Gopaka. On Battuta expressing his wish tojoin theexpedition, was made commander of the fleet underJamaluddin?s supervision.However, Jamaluddin, instead of attacking Chandrapura,attacksGopaura/Gopaka (sometime after monsoon in 1344) forcing theking to flee toChandrapura and from there Biradeva mounts a counter attackand issuccessful in evicting Jamaluddin from Govapura/Gopaka.Yet, urged by the second son the conspirator, next year,October 16, 1345Jamaludding mounts a second attack, perhaps simultaneouslyon Goapura andChandrapura. By this time, Biradeva had died and his youngson Suriyadevawas newly crowned. On the midnight of October 16, 1345, itis saidJamaluddin mounted a two pronged attack simultaneously onGopapura(Gove-Goa Velha) and Chandrapura (Chandor) in which thenewly crowned youngking Siriyadeva was slain (as per oral tradition of'internal conspiracy',by his own Chardo palace guards who slew the king with hisown royal sword)and with him all the male members of the Kadamba family werekilled. It isnot very clear if Suriyadeva was killed at Chandrapura or atGove. Hisyoung queen was away at her father's palace at Hangal.Family tradition hasit that a messenger was sent to bring her back, and shehurried and arrivedat Chandrapura on 18th October, 1345 (Moraes in his 'KadambaKula' says thequeen who was away, arrived few days later) and only thenshe came to knowof the treachery and the death of her husband. Prior to herarrival, allthe females of the Royal court had ground their jewellry,tossed the powderin the river and jumped after, and had killed themselves.The distraughtqueen broke her bangles on the stone in front of theSantiago Chapel on theChandor Cotta Kadamba gate and dusting her heels (three orfour times)because she did not even want to carry the dust of thewretched city ofChandor on her feet, uttered her famous curse and wassecretly escorted toJayakeshi I Royal compound at Villiapura (modern Velim) andlived there insecrecy guarded by her loyal black smith subjects. Later shewas joined byher father and nephew whom she adopted as her son and heirand this way theHangal and Goa Kadamba lineage continued and extant to thisday.MD From: Ujwala S Sawant <[email protected]>Subject: [Goanet] Here importantvideos on Goanhistory,the Kadamba dynasty history: very interesting, keep watchingGoans aroundthe world.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KosShFvaw1M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6q3y17LK80
