Harshadeva (Nepali: हर्षदेव) was a Thakuri king of Nepal who reigned from c. 1085–1098.[1][2][3][4]
Life
[edit]Harshadeva succeeded Vamadeva in around c. 1085. Similar to his predecessor, he did not assume full royal titles. The reason for this is not clear with some authors hinting at a suzerainty of Nepal to a foreign kingdom.[5]
The reign of Harshadeva was filled with distress and internal conflicts. Local lords of his kingdom constantly fought with each other and tried to proclaim themself as the king.[3][4] The feudatories continued to exercise more control than the monarch even after Harshadeva's death for more than ten years.[6]
Harshadeva was succeeded by Simhadeva after his death in 1098.[7]
