State of The Chola Kingdom
For the rest of his reign Rajaraja had to depend heavily on Hoysala help. There was a continuous decrease in order within the kingdom and the disregard for the central control on the part of the feudatories increased. The extent of the kingdom over which Rajaraja had nominal control remained as during the times of Kulothunga III. Rajaraja recognised his son Rajendra Chola III as heir apparent in 1246 CE. Rajaraja however continued to live until 1260 CE.
