The Battle of Tonlé Sap [2] ( French: Bataille de Tonlé Sap) took place between Champa and the Khmer Empire in 1177.
Background
Under Suryavarman II (reigned 1113–1150), the Khmer kingdom united internally, [3] and the largest temple of Angkor, Angkor Wat, dedicated to the god Vishnu, was built in a period of 37 years. In the east, his campaigns against Champa and Annam were unsuccessful, [4] though he did sack Vijaya in 1145 and depose Jaya Indravarman III. [5] The Khmers occupied Vijaya until 1149, when they were driven out by Jaya Harivarman I. [6] Suryavarman II sent a mission to the Chola dynasty of south India and presented a precious stone to the Chola emperor Kulothunga Chola I in 1114. [7] [8]
Another period followed, in which kings reigned briefly and were violently overthrown by their successors. Finally in 1177, the Angkor capital was raided and looted in a naval battle on the Tonlé Sap lake by a Cham fleet under king Jaya Indravarman IV, [1] and Tribhuvanadityavarman, ruler of Angkor, was killed. [9] [10]
