Parakrama Pandyan II, also
Parakrama Pandya of Polonnaruwa and
Parakrama Pandu was a
Pandyan king who invaded the
Kingdom of Polonnaruwa in the thirteenth century and ruled from 1212 to 1215 CE. His namesake royal
Parakrama Pandyan I ruled in
Madurai fifty years earlier and had sought help from his contemporary
Parakramabahu I of Polonnaruwa when faced with a Pandyan civil war. Parakrama Pandyan II came to the throne deposing
Lilavati - ruling monarch, consort and successor of Parakramabahu I - as king of Polonnaruwa. He ruled for three years until Polonnaruwa was invaded and he was taken captive by
Kalinga Magha, who succeeded him.
