Rajendravarman II (Khmer: រាជេន្ទ្រវរ្ម័នទី២) wrestled power away from his cousin Harshavarman II and moved the capital back from Koh Ker to Yashodharapura (Angkor) in 944 CE.
Many scholars believe that Rajendravarman II instituted a system of centralised administration, establishing more direct control over a collection of princes who had been largely independent at their estates in the provinces.
Rajendravarman II was succeeded by his 10-year-old son, who reigned as Jayavarman V.
