Town · Contested ground · as at first light, 1 January 1200

Kurnool

Kandanavolu on the Tungabhadra, the old seat of the Kandanavolu Chodas (from memory), a small Telugu Choda house of the borderland.

Its lord in 1200 is not known to me; the Kakatiya claim over the Tungabhadra line and the southern Choda houses both apply.

Who holds it

How things stand that morning
