Shivadeva I (also spelled Sivadeva) was a king of the Licchavi dynasty who ruled Nepal from around 590 to 605 C.E.[1] [2] He was the son of Mana Deva II and lived in a nine-storeyed palace called the Kailashkut Bhavan.
In 598 C.E, a feudal lord, Amshuverma, who belonged to the Vaisya clan, rose to a position of an influential officer and assumed the title of Maharajadhiraj reducing Shivadeva to a mere figurehead.[3] Rather than resisting Amshuverma's rise, he married his daughter to him. Upon his death, his son-in-law Amshuverma succeeded him as the king.
