Nirbhayadeva (Nepali: निर्भयदेव) was a Thakuri king of Nepal who reigned from c. 1004–1009.[1][2]

Reign[edit]

Nirbhayadeva became the king after succeeding Udaydeva in c. 1004. In around 1007, he was reduced to the status of a co-ruler by Rudradeva, and the next year, his reign ceased. Rudradeva and his nephew Bhojadeva ruled jointly after then. He died a few years later.[1][2][3]
