Excerpt from
Mr Deva Corea’s article : http://vernoncorea.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/king-dominicus-corea-of-kotte-article-by-deva-corea/
‘King
Parakramabahu
the VI’th was the last great King of Sri Lanka to rule the
entire country. When Sri Rahula wrote the `Selalihina
Sandesaya’ it is said that he prayed that Ulukudaya Devi the
daughter of King Parakrambahu the VI’th be given a son. That
son was Jayabahu II, whose daughter Abarawathi married
Ranamuka Bandara. Ranamuka Bandara was a descendant of
Buvenaka Bahu Epa, the son of Buvenaka Bahu IV King of
Gampola.
Buvenaka Bahu Epa
having accompanied Alakeswara in his campaigns finally settled
in Kotte. Ranamuka
Bandara and Aberawathie had two sons, Ranamuka Aratchi and
Edirilla Aratchi, officers in the Sinhala Army. Edirilla
Aratchi converted to Christianity and was baptized as Emanuel
Corea. His son, Jeronimo Corea was the `Interpreter’ and
`Colombo Aratchi’ to King Don Juan Dharmapala.
Jeronimo
Corea and his wife Anna had two sons, Dominicus and Simon.
Born in AD 1565, Dominicus and his brother Simon grew up in
the precincts of the palace, by virtue of the position held by
their father. Dominicus excelled in sports and martial arts,
especially as a swordsman.’
Ranamuka Bandara
and Aberawathie [daughter of Jayabahu Vira
Parakrama Bahu (Jayabahu II, whose parents were Ulukudaya
Devi and Sundara Pandya, Ulukudaya
Devi
was the daughter of Kiravella Devi and King Parakrama Bahu VI
(1399-1467))]
Parakrama
Bahu VI had 2 adopted sons: Sapumal Kumara, when Parakrama
Bahu VI died in 1467, he gave the throne to his grandson,
Jaybahu II. When Sapumal Kumara found out, he went and hunted
down Jayabahu, and killed him. On becoming king, he was called
Bhuvuneka Bahu VI, he died in 1477 and had one son Pandita
Parakrama Bahu.
The second adopted son was called Ambulugala Raja
(1420-1489). When Sapumal Kumara died, his son Pandita
Parakrama Bahu became king. When he became king, Ambulugala
Raja killed him for the throne.
Parakrama Bahu VI's father was called Vira Vijaya
Bahu VI, married to Sunethra Devi (1370-????). Vira Vijaya
Bahu was kidnapped by the Chinese, and when they released him,
on returning to Sri Lanka he was murdered. This is when
Parakrama Bahu VI came to the throne. Vira Vijaya Bahu VI had
a brother called Vira Bahu Epa.
Vijaya Bahu and Vira Bahu's father was called
Senalankadhikara Senevirat and was Minister of Bhuvanaikabâhu
IV.

the Portuguese forces and executed. He fought hard

Excerpts from article by Mr. Deva Corea: http://vernoncorea.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/king-dominicus-corea-of-kotte-article-by-deva-corea/
1 Visiting Sitawaka on a mission of espionage
dressed as a Hindu priestess, he found favour with King
Rajasinghe and had the run of the palace, especially the
harem. Padma Wanisapperuma from Attygalle near Hanwella was
reportedly the loveliest lady in the Kingdom. She was the
grand daughter of a chieftain who died by the side of Vidiya
Bandara in Jaffna in 1556 and was the King’s favourite. She
was to be elevated to the rank of junior queen. Mudaliyar
Bulathsinghala wrote that the pseudo priestess saved the lady
from a rabid dog when all others fled the harem in fear.
Dominicus revealed himself to her that night and leaves for
Colombo the following day, still garbed as a priestess.
According to John.M.Seneviratne; his love for a lady, Padma
Wanissaperuma, the most entrancingly beautiful in King
Rajasinghe’s harem, made him practically ‘Desert’ to Sitawaka.
He
joined the army of King Rajasingha of Sitawaka, but soon fell
foul of the King when he expressed his aspirations. Rajasinghe
it is written, ‘roused to furious anger by the presumption of
the lovelorn youth, ordered his death. Fleeing the kingdom, he
was caught by Rajasinghe’s men, who cut his throat and left
him for dead. Nursed back to health by a Mukkuwa woman, his
neck was slightly crooked, earning him the nickname of `Mal
Degolado’ or `The Ill Beheaded’. Returning to Kotte a much
sober and changed man, he served under King Don Juan
Dharmapala. His bravery, stratagem and ruthlessness on the
battlefield, paved the way for him to be appointed a General
or `Vickramasinha’. He was by then known as Ederilla Mudiyanse
or Ederilla Rala.
