Indravarman II
Indravarman II (Khmer: ឥន្ទ្រវរ្ម័នទី២, Thai: อินทรวรมันที่ ๒) was the ruler of the Khmer Empire, son of Jayavarman VII.: 132 There is some dispute regarding the actual period of his reign, even because his successor, Jayavarman VIII, probably destroyed historical records about him, but the only inscription which directly mention him reports that he died in 1243.: 181 He was a Buddhist and was also credited with having enlarged (or completed) some of Jayavarman VII's temple. During his peaceful kingdom, the Khmers lost control of Champa and the newborn Sukhothai Kingdom under Indraditya took possession of some western territories.
