== Gona Dynasty ==<br />
During the [[Kakatiya dynasty]] (995-1323), Gona Budda Reddy ruled a kingdom in [[Mahbubnagar district]] from Vardhamaanapuram (currently known as Nandi Vaddemaan) and [[Khilla Ghanpur]] (Fort Ghanpur) in modern-day [[Ghanpur, Mahbubnagar district]]. He and his family, the Gona dynasty, was mostly loyal to the [[Kakatiya dynasty]]. When he died, his brother [[Gona Lakuma Reddy]] took over the kingdom and rebelled against the Kakatiya, but his son [[Gona Ganna Reddy]] remained loyal to them in Vardamanapuram,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mahabubnagar.nic.in/Dynasties.php|title=History of District § Kakatiyas (995-1323)|work=mahabubnagar.nic.in|publisher=The Official Website of Mahabubnagar District}}</ref> (1262-1296 AD) indirectly supporting the rule of Kakatiya Queen [[Rudrama Devi]] against opposition to female rule.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kumar|first=Sravan|date=2015-10-10|url=http://www.belvoireagle.com/entertainment/all-you-need-to-know-about-gona-ganna-reddy-kakatiya-ruler-rudramadevi-allu-arjun-1676.html|title=All You Need To Know About Gona Ganna Reddy Kakatiya Ruler : Rudramadevi, Allu Arjun|work=Belvoireagle.com|accessdate=2016-02-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160220193109/http://www.belvoireagle.com/entertainment/all-you-need-to-know-about-gona-ganna-reddy-kakatiya-ruler-rudramadevi-allu-arjun-1676.html|archive-date=20 February 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
