Harshavarman III.

Harshavarman III. was between 1066 and about 1080 King of the Khmer Empire of Angkor. He was the last of his dynasty on the throne of Angkor.

Harshavarman followed his older brother Udayadityavarman II to the throne. Its capital was the so-called Second Yasodharapura, which had its center in Baphuon and had been created by his brother. His reign was crossed by internal revolts, he ultimately could not put down for good.

The successor of Harshavarman II was the usurper Jayavarman VI. , Who came from the area of Phimai and Phanom Rung in today's Thailand. If Harshavarman well as 1080 should not have died, so he left any case Angkor and sought refuge in the south of the kingdom where his followers fought against the troops of Jayavarman.

Posthumously Harshavarman was assigned the name Sadaśivapada. He is mentioned by name on the stele K.908 at Preah Khan by Jayavarman VII as a maternal ancestor.
