After the death of Harihara II in 1404, the succession of the throne was disputed amongst his three sons: Virupaksha Raya, Bukka Raya II, and Deva Raya I and eventually changed hands amongst them. First, Virupaksha Raya managed to rule for a few months before he was murdered by his brothers. Bukka Raya II, who succeeded him as emperor, only reigned for a little more than two years before he was overthrown by his brother Deva Raya I who took the throne in September 1406. Nothing is known of him from 1406 until he made a failed attempt to retake the throne in 1411. After his failed attempt, he disappears from records.
