Nevertheless ten years after, either the same Queen, or her successor, again refused payment of all tribute. The name of this Queen, according to the Portuguese chroniclers, was Bucadevi Chantar (Bukka Devi Chautar)². Pietro della Valle, who met this Queen in the course of his travels through India, corrupts her name even a little more: according to him she was named Abag-devi-Ciantru³.
