Treaty of Mannar

The 1742 (Malayalam 917) Treaty of Mannar restored peace and annexed parts of Kayamkulam to Travancore.

The king of Kollam (Desiganad Dynasty) adopted a prince from Kayamkulam Royal Family.

In 1742 the Armies of the Dutch and Kayamkulam attacked Travancore and seized Kilimanoor Fort.

Raja agreed to merge a major portion of Kayamkulam with Travancore and also pay 1000 rupees every year.

Raja dumped all his wealth in Astamudi Lake and fled to the northern Region.
