Years: 1252 - 1395

The early Malla period, a time of continuing trade and the reintroduction of Nepalese coinage, sees the steady growth of the small towns that become Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhadgaon.

Royal pretenders in Patan and Bhadgaon struggle with their main rivals, the lords of Banepa in the east, relying on the populations of their towns as their power bases.

The citizens of Bhadgaon view Devaladevi as the legitimate, independent queen.

The betrothal in 1354 of her granddaughter to Jayasthitimalla, a man of obscure but apparently high birth, eventually leads to the reunification of the land and a lessening of strife among the towns.
