Everything about Dominicus Corea totally explained
Dominicus Corea (
Sinhalese family name
Edirille Bandara) also known as
Domingos Corea was the son of Jeronimo Corea. He was born in
Colombo in
1565; the Portuguese had colonised
Ceylon at the time and his parents converted to Catholicism.
De Queyroz, the great Portuguese historian said of Dominicus Corea "he was able to read and write like a well bred man." Trained from boyhood warlike pursuits, he was skilled in arms, and was dreaded as being one of the most expert swordsmen of his day.
Dominicus Corea was crowned King of
Kotte; he was given the kingdoms of Kotte and
Sitawaka by King Vimala Dharma of Ceylon.
Corea rebelled against the
Portuguese and inflicted massive defeats. He was captured by the Portuguese and executed on
July 14 1596 at the age of 31 in Colombo. "Such was the sad end of Domingos Corea, Edirimana Suriya Bandara, the greatest
Sinhalese of his day," said Sri Lankan historian John M. Seneviratna.
