History
The first historical record of the Vasireddy clan can be traced from 1413 CE inscription of Pothineedu at Pithapuram (East Godavari district) in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. Pothineedu ruled A small region around Pithapuram subsequent to the downfall of Musunuri Nayaks at Warangal. Pothineedu constructed a number of temples in Godavari delta. He planted 460,000 Palm (Taadi) trees and extolled their importance in his inscriptions. He also built many temples in Godavari delta.
There was a gap of 100 years and the next available record was that of Mallikarjuna who ruled from 1500-1527 AD. Mallikarjuna’s refusal to pay taxes to Golkonda Nawab (Kuli Qutb Shah) led to a battle with the commander Haider Jung. Both Mallikarjuna and Haider Jung died in the battle. Mallikarjuna’s wife committed Sati. Two year old son Sadasiva Raya was brought up by Kodali Ramabhupati, a wealthy relative in the Nutakki village of Guntur district. The principality of Chintapalli on the bank of Krishna River was the domain of a series of Vasireddy rulers starting from Sadasiva Raya.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
