Rampala is recognised as the last great ruler of the dynasty, managing to restore much of the past glory of the [[Pala Emperor|Pala]] lineage. He crushed the [[Varendra Rebellion]] and extended his empire farther to [[Kamarupa]], [[Orissa, India|Orissa]] and Northern India. He was succeeded by [[Kumarapala (Pala king)|Kumarapala]]. According to Bengali legend he died by walking into the sea.<ref>http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/490507/Ramapala</ref> | Rampala is recognised as the last great ruler of the dynasty, managing to restore much of the past glory of the [[Pala Emperor|Pala]] lineage.

After gaining control of Varendra, Ramapala tried to revive the Pala empire with limited success. He ruled from a new capital at Ramavati, which remained the Pala capital until the dynasty's end. He reduced taxation, promoted cultivation and constructed public utilities. He brought [[Kamarupa]] and [[Rarh region|Rar]] under his control, and forced the Varman king of east Bengal to accept his suzerainty. He also struggled with the Ganga king for control of present-day [[Orissa, India|Orissa]]; the [[Eastern Ganga Dynasty|Ganga]]s managed to annex the region only after his death. Ramapala maintained friendly relations with the [[Chola]] king Kulottunga to secure support against the common enemies: the Ganas and the [[Chalukya]]s. He kept the [[Sena dynasty|Sen]]s in check, but lost Mithila to a Karnataka chief named Nanyuadeva. He also held back the aggressive design of the [[Gahadavala]] ruler [[Govindachandra (Gahadavala dynasty)|Govindachandra]] through a matrimonial alliance.<ref>name="Sailendra1999"</ref> | After gaining control of Varendra, Ramapala tried to revive the Pala empire with limited success.
