In 1815, the Kandyan Kingdom—the last independent monarchy in Sri Lanka—fell to the British not through conquest but through betrayal. This episode explores the internal fractures that led to the Kandyan Convention: the unpopular Nayakkar king Sri Vikrama Rajasinha, the alienation of the Buddhist clergy, and the conspiracy of the Kandyan chiefs (Radalas) led by Pilimatalawe. We examine the key figure of John D'Oyly, the British diplomat who masterminded the treaty, and the irony that the kingdom which had resisted Portuguese, Dutch, and earlier British attacks collapsed from within. The episode also touches on the aftermath: the British failure to honor their promises, the Uva Rebellion of 1817-18, and the lingering legacy of the Convention in modern Sri Lankan identity. #KandyanKingdom #SriVikramaRajasinha #KandyanConvention #JohnDOyly #BritishCeylon #Radalas #Pilimatalawe #UvaRebellion #TempleOfTheTooth #BuddhistClergy #NayakkarDynasty #1815 #ColonialSriLanka #Betrayal #Kandy #SriLankaHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
