Bhaskaradeva
Bhaskaradeva () was a Thakuri king of Nepal who reigned from . Ancestry The ancestry of Bhaskaradeva is still a topic of debate among scholars. The older chronicles such as the Gopal Raj Vamshavali do not note a change of dynasty from Lakshmikamadeva to Bhaskaradeva. However, a less popular opinion such as of Sylvain Lévi and Daniel Wright implies a change of dynasty, and further adds that Bhaskaradeva had dethroned either Lakshmikamadeva or Jayadeva and became the king. They suggest that Bhaskaradeva was a Thakuri from Nuwakot, and belonged to the same dynasty as Amshuverma. Modern authors such as D.R. Regmi, and Luciano Petech are strongly critical of the latter argument. Reign Bhaskaradeva had a joint rule with Jayadeva from , and after then he was the sole ruler of Nepal.

11th-century Nepalese People
The 11th century is the period from 1001 ( MI) through 1100 ( MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine power and a rise of Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical Chinese civilization, science and technology, and classical Islamic science, philosophy, technology and literature. Rival political factions at the Song dynasty court created strife amongst t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thakuri Kings Of Nepal
Thakuri ( ne, ठकुरी) is a sub-caste of Khasas tribes in Nepal. It consists of the historical ruling class, and is made up of the descendants of the Great Khasa Malla kingdom rulers of the Baisi and Chaubisi principalities. The former royal family of Nepal also belong to this Khas sub-tribe. Etymology Nepali sociologist Harka Bahadur Gurung noted that the ''Thakuri'' is the Nepalese version of the Hindi word ''Thakur'' which means 'master of the estate'. Thakuris of Nepal are also associated with some territory inherited from the days of Baisi and Chaubisi principalities and the term ''Thakurai'' actually refers to 'fiefdom'. Origins Thakuris traditionally constituted the ruling and warrior classes, and claimed the Kshatriya varna. Thakuris are a high socio-political group considered to have arisen from intermarriage between Khas, Magars, and perhaps Indian Rajput immigrants. The 1854 Muluki Ain (Legal Code) refers Thakuris by the term ''Rajputs'' despite being de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
