Umadevi

Umadevi ["Uma-devi"] (c. 1150 – 1218) was one of the wives of King Bellala II and a Mysore general during the Chalukya campaigns.

Born around 1150, Umadevi became one of the queen-consorts of King Bellala II at age twenty-two. Commanding Mysore armies against the rival Chalukyas on at least two occasions, allowing King Bellala to concentrate on administrative matters. Significantly contributing to the Hoysalas' conquest of the Chalkyua at Kalyani (near present day Bidar) in 1190, she eventually committed suicide, according to the Indian tradition of sati, following her husbands death in 1218.
