The Seuna, Sevuna,
or Yadavas of Devagiri (Seuṇa, c. 1187–1317) was a Medieval
Indian dynasty, which at its peak ruled a kingdom stretching from the
Narmada river in the north to the Tungabhadra river
in the south, in the western part of the Deccan region.
Its territory included present-day Maharashtra, North
Karnataka and parts of Madhya Pradesh, from its capital at Devagiri
(present-day Daulatabad in modern Aurangabad
district, Maharashtra). The Yadavas initially ruled as feudatories of the Western
Chalukyas. Around the middle of the 12th century, as the Chalukya power
waned, the Yadava king Bhillama V declared independence. The Yadava kingdom
reached its peak under Simhana II, and flourished until the early 14th
century, when it was annexed by the Khalji dynasty of
the Delhi Sultanate in 1308 CE. |
