Prataparudra (c. 1289–1323), also known as Rudradeva II, was the last ruler in the Kakatiya dynasty. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq's general, Ulugh Khan, occupied Warangal and Prataparudra was sent to Delhi as a captive. He committed suicide along the way.[1]
Prataparuda was the grandson of Rudramadevi. On the death of Rudramadevi, Prataparudra, who was adopted by her as son and as heir-apparent on the advice of her father, Ganapatideva, ascended the throne towards the end of 1289 or the beginning of 1290 CE. Rudramadevi died in Chandupatla village[2] when in battle with Ambadeva, a rebel Kayastha chief. An inscription was found in 1994 at Chandupatla that confirmed the death date of Rudramadevi as 27 November 1289, until which point there had been no certainty.,[3]
Prataparudra's entire reign was spent in fighting wars.[4][page needed]
