Intermittent warfare between Champa and Dai Viet…
1044 CE
Intermittent warfare between Champa and Dai Viet continues until 1044, when Viet ruler Ly Thai Tong leads a naval attack on the Chams during a period of civil strife.
A catastrophic battle results in the death of the Cham King Sa Dau and the sack of Vijaya by the Dai Viet.
The invaders capture elephants and musicians and even the Cham queen Mi E, who preserves her honor by throwing herself into the waves as her captors attempts to transport her to their country.
Thirty thousand Chams are killed.
