Champa had ceded its three northern border …

Years: 1080 - 1080

Champa had ceded its three northern border provinces to its Dai Viet occupiers as ransom for its captive king, Rudravarman III.

King Harivarman IV had taken the Cham throne in 1074, restoring the temples at My Son and ushering in a period of relative prosperity.

Harivarman had made peace with the Đại Việt, but provoked war with the Khmer of Angkor.

A Khmer army attacks Vijaya and other centers in northern Champa in 1080.

Temples and monasteries are sacked; cultural treasures are carried off.

After much misery, Cham troops under King Harivarman are able to defeat the invaders and restored the capital and temples.
