Champa had begun to pay tribute to the Viet kings, including a white rhino sent in 1065.
The Chams, currently allied with the Khmers, see an opportunity to recapture their capital of Vijaya captured in 1044 by the Dai Viets, or Annamese, in the recent Vietnamese-Cham War.
When the Chams invade their neighbor’s three southern border provinces in 1068, Dai Viet ruler Ly Thanh-Tong immediately retaliates by attacking Champa.
These events are repeated in 1069, when the Viet general Ly Thuong Kiet takes a fleet to Champa and occupies Vijaya.
Rudravarman and fifty thousand others are taken into captivity, eventually purchasing his freedom in exchange for three northern districts of his realm.
This extends the Viet borders to the seventeenth parallel.
A leader in southern Champa, taking advantage of the debacle, rebels and establishes an independent kingdom.
