The '''siege of Vijayanagar''' or '''Bahmani–Vijayanagar war of 1423''' was a military campaign by the [[Bahmani Sultanate]] in the [[Deccan plateau]], led by [[Ahmad Shah I Wali]], against the [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagar empire]], ruled by [[Veera Vijaya Bukka Raya|Vira Vijaya Bukka Raya III]], beginning in 1423 in present-day [[Karnataka]]. The campaign resulted in a victory for the Bahmanis, leading to the recapture of all of the Sultanate's territories that had fallen into the hands of Vijayanagar during the war of 1420. | |||
After their triumph in the [[Bahmani–Vijayanagar War (1417–1419)|war with the Bahmanis in 1420]], the Vijayanagar empire carried out a massacre of the civilian population, violating the treaty signed between them during the [[Bahmani–Vijayanagar War (1362–1367)|war of 1367]]. Following the coronation of Ahmad Shah Wali after the death of his brother [[Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah|Tajuddin Firuz Shah]], Ahmad sought revenge for his brother's defeat by assembling an army. Vira Vijaya, the king of Vijayanagar, opposed them with a vast army, supported by [[Recherla Nayakas|Velama Chiefs]]. However, they were repelled from Tungabhadra, and at one point, the Vijayanagar king was taken as a prisoner of war, though he later managed to escape. | |||
Ahmad Shah retaliated by massacring the Vijayanagar population, seeking retribution for their actions in the earlier war. This led to the Vijayanagar ruler seeking peace, which he achieved by paying a large indemnity as a tribute and returning the lands taken from the Bahmanis in the war of 1420. | |||
