Narasimha I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Narasimha I (1152 - 1173 CE) was an unpopular ruler of the Hoysala Empire. Apart from his victory over his overlord Chalukya Tailapa III which paved way for declaration of independence by his successor, historians dont give him too much credit. Tailapa III was killed by Narasimha I. He however failed to meet the challenge of their Kalachuri feudatory Bijjala II. He was overthrown by his son Veera Ballala II.
