Dynasty and assumed the male name “Rudradeva”. Warangal was the Capital of
Kakatiya Empire.Her reign was marked by the uprising of her feudatories who did
not like the succession of a woman to the throne. Rani Rudrama overcame all the
difficulties and maintained the integrity of the empire.
She was married to Veera Bhadra but she lost him
early. This incident gave her severe grief.
The Yadava king Mahadeva invaded the Kakatiya Empire
during the years 1268-70. But nothing came out of this. It was a mere raid and
did not result in any loss of territory to the Kakatiyas.
In 1280 Prataparudradeva, the grandson of Rudrama
was appointed as the Yuvaraja. In 1285, the Pandyas, the Yadavas and the
Hoysalas allied themselves and tried to annex the Kakatiya Empire, but
Prataparudradeva, the Yuvaraja, tackled the situation successfully.
She also completed the contraction of Warangal Fort
and even captured many other forts. She had faith in religious beliefs and
worshipped many goddesses. The administrative system of Rani Rudrama was
efficient and the general people led a happy life.
