After the fall of the Kulashekaras (second Chera dynasty) in 1102, a lot of independent feudal small kingdoms rose up. The Venad kingdom, Kolathunadu, Calicut kingdom and Kingdom of Cochin dominated them politically, financially and by using miitary strength. The other kingdoms and their kings were subordinates to these kingdoms and were controlled by them. Later, Kochi and Kolathunadu came under Calicut due to political pressures over time. Nair and Nambudiri lords started breaking up the kingdoms into more smaller kingdoms under their own rule. Namboodiris who had some roles in governing but stayed out of the ruing family started governing the provinces directly. Some lords who were not in the control of the kings used to murder the common people. These small kingdoms due to their rivalry and political plays, had stagnated, because of which a Kerala which lost its unity was the sight which awaited the Portuguese when they landed in Kerala.
