 Kopperunchinga II

Kopperunchinga II (reigned c. 1243-1279 CE) was a Kadava chieftain, who succeeded his father Kopperunchinga I and continued his successes against the Hoysalas.Since the Chola power no longer constituted a threat, Kopperunchinga II acted as the "de facto" protector of the Chola king and helped him maintain his position on the throne.
