Aggabodhi III

Aggabodhi III (Sinhala: තුන්වන අග්බෝ), also known as Sirisangabo, was a monarch of the Anuradhapura Kingdom who reigned during a period of extreme political instability in the 7th century. His rule, spanning intermittently from 628 AD to 644 AD, is historically significant as the beginning of a "Dark Era" characterized by perpetual civil war and the first large-scale dependency on foreign mercenary armies.
