History
During the reigns of Udayadityavarman II and Harshavarman III there were some internal rebellions and an unsuccessful war with Champa.[1] Maybe the last one continued to reign in Angkor during a revolt which finally brought to power the following official King, Jayavarman VI, probably a vassal prince.[2]: 376–377
Coming from
rather than having real ancestors of royal lineage.Jayavarman VI was probably engaged for several years in strife against those who remained loyal to the legitimate line of Harshavarman III and his heir Nripatindravarman which may have reigned in Angkor until 1113.[5]: 153
However, he is generally given credit for the construction of Phimai temple. He was succeeded by his elder brother, Dharanindravarman I, and received as posthumous name Paramakaivalyapada.[5]: 153
