Mahidharapura Dynasty (Khmer: រាជត្រកូលមហិធរៈបុរៈ ; Thai: ราชวงศ์มหิธรปุระ ; Roman: House of Mahidharapura, Mahidra-pura) was a dynasty. Some sources call it the Mahitarapura dynasty or Khom royal family (Khmer). It lasted from 1080 to 1336 and was based in Phimai, Thailand.

History

The Mahidharapura dynasty of the Varman dynasty was established by Hiranyavarman and was known after the accession of Jayavarman VI[1] in 1080. Its ancestor was Bhavavarman I of Chenla kingdom. King Jayavarman VI was a nobleman of the royal family ruling Phimai (now Phimai District Nakhon Ratchasima Province). The royal line of Mahidharapura was the beginning of the family of many Khmer kings who settled in the Mun River basin near Prasat Phanom Wan, Prasat Phimai, Pradsat Phanom Rung, and the area of Lavo. It is an ancient royal family since the Funan era, having influence and power base in the southeast region and the Phanom Dong Rak mountain range. There are eleven monarchs in Mahidharpura, the first of which was Jayavarman VI and the last was Jayavarman IX (Jayavarmadiparamesvara).[2]
