===Chandra dynasty===
{{main|Chandra dynasty}}
The Chandra dynasty were a family who ruled over the kingdom of [[Harikela]] in eastern Bengal (comprising the ancient lands of Harikela, Vanga and Samatata) for roughly a century and a half from the beginning of the 10th century CE. Their empire also encompassed Vanga and Samatata, with [[Srichandra]] expanding his domain to include parts of Kamarupa. Their empire was ruled from their capital, [[Vikrampur]] (modern [[Munshiganj]]) and was powerful enough to militarily withstand the Pala Empire to the north-west. The last ruler of the Chandra Dynasty, [[Govindachandra (Chandra dynasty)|Govindachandra]], was defeated by the south Indian Emperor Rajendra Chola I of the Chola dynasty in the 11th century.<ref>{{cite book |last=Raatan |first=T. |year=2004 |title=Encyclopaedia of North-East India |location=New Delhi |publisher=Kalpaz Publications |page=143 |isbn=978-8178350684}}</ref>
