Background

Harihara II (1377-1404) suceeded Bukka Raya as king of the Vijayanagara Empire and was infamous for conquering almost all of Southern India. During his reign, Harihara II continued to extend the kingdom's territory through fighting against the Reddis of Kondavidu for control of the coastal Andhra between Nellore and Kalinga. From the Reddis of Kondavidu, Harihara II conquered the Addanki and Srisailam areas as well as most of the territoy between the penninsula to the south of the river Krishna, which would eventually lead to fights in Telanga with the Velamas of Rachakonda. In order to counter Harihara IIs attacks, Rachakonda recieved aid from the Bahamis which would prevent Harihara II from continuing his campaign into Telanga. In the end, the Vijayanagara Empire had extended its control into the northwest, controlling such ports as Goa, Chaul, and Dabhol, as well as facing an increase in the economy. After Harihara II's death, the throne would be fought between his sons in which Virupaksha I and Bukka II would rule for a few years before Deva Raya would be victorious.
