Excerpt from Mr. Deva Corea’s article : http://vernoncorea.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/king-dominicus-corea-of-kotte-article-by-deva-corea/
‘King Parakramabahu the VI’th was the last great
King of Sri Lanka to rule the entire country. When Sri Rahula wrote the
`Selalihina Sandesaya’ it is said that he prayed that Ulukudaya Devi the daughter of King Parakrambahu the VI’th be given a
son. That son was Jayabahu II, whose daughter Abarawathi married Ranamuka
Bandara. Ranamuka Bandara was a
descendant of Buvenaka Bahu Epa, the son of Buvenaka Bahu IV King of Gampola.
Buvenaka Bahu Epa having
accompanied Alakeswara in his campaigns finally settled in Kotte. Ranamuka Bandara and Aberawathie had two
sons, Ranamuka Aratchi and Edirilla Aratchi, officers in the Sinhala
Army. Edirilla Aratchi converted to Christianity and was baptized as Emanuel
Corea. His son, Jeronimo Corea was the `Interpreter’ and `Colombo Aratchi’ to
King Don Juan Dharmapala.
Jeronimo Corea and his wife Anna had two sons,
Dominicus and Simon. Born in AD 1565, Dominicus and his brother Simon grew up
in the precincts of the palace, by virtue of the position held by their father.
Dominicus excelled in sports and martial arts, especially as a swordsman.’
Ranamuka Bandara and Aberawathie
[daughter of Jayabahu Vira
Parakrama Bahu (Jayabahu II, whose parents were Ulukudaya Devi and Sundara
Pandya, Ulukudaya Devi was the daughter
of Kiravella Devi and King Parakrama Bahu VI (1399-1467))] Parakrama Bahu VI had 2 adopted sons: Sapumal
Kumara, when Parakrama Bahu VI died in 1467, he gave the throne to his
grandson, Jaybahu II. When Sapumal Kumara found out, he went and hunted down
Jayabahu, and killed him. On becoming king, he was called Bhuvuneka Bahu VI,
he died in 1477 and had one son Pandita Parakrama Bahu.
The second adopted son was called Ambulugala Raja (1420-1489). When
Sapumal Kumara died, his son Pandita Parakrama Bahu became king. When he
became king, Ambulugala Raja killed him for the throne.
Parakrama
Bahu VI's father was called Vira Vijaya Bahu VI, married to Sunethra Devi
(1370-????). Vira Vijaya Bahu was kidnapped by the Chinese, and when they
released him, on returning to Sri Lanka he was murdered. This is when
Parakrama Bahu VI came to the throne. Vira Vijaya Bahu VI had a brother
called Vira Bahu Epa.
Vijaya Bahu and Vira Bahu's father was called Senalankadhikara
Senevirat and was Minister of Bhuvanaikabâhu IV.

Visiting Sitawaka on a mission of espionage dressed as a Hindu
priestess, he found favour with King Rajasinghe and had the run of the
palace, especially the harem. Padma Wanisapperuma from Attygalle near
Hanwella was reportedly the loveliest lady in the Kingdom. She was the grand
daughter of a chieftain who died by the side of Vidiya Bandara in Jaffna in
1556 and was the King’s favourite. She was to be elevated to the rank of
junior queen. Mudaliyar Bulathsinghala wrote that the pseudo priestess saved
the lady from a rabid dog when all others fled the harem in fear. Dominicus
revealed himself to her that night and leaves for Colombo the following day,
still garbed as a priestess. According to John.M.Seneviratne; his love for a
lady, Padma Wanissaperuma, the most entrancingly beautiful in King
Rajasinghe’s harem, made him practically ‘Desert’ to Sitawaka.
He joined the army of King Rajasingha of
Sitawaka, but soon fell foul of the King when he expressed his aspirations.
Rajasinghe it is written, ‘roused to furious anger by the presumption of the
lovelorn youth, ordered his death. Fleeing the kingdom, he was caught by Rajasinghe’s
men, who cut his throat and left him for dead. Nursed back to health by a
Mukkuwa woman, his neck was slightly crooked, earning him the nickname of
`Mal Degolado’ or `The Ill Beheaded’. Returning to Kotte a much sober and
changed man, he served under King Don Juan Dharmapala. His bravery, stratagem
and ruthlessness on the battlefield, paved the way for him to be appointed a
General or `Vickramasinha’. He was by then known as Ederilla Mudiyanse or
Ederilla Rala.

Dominicus was given as his bride, Subadra
Devi the daughter of Vidiya Bandara King [Prince?] of the Sath Korale and
Suriya Devi the daughter of Mayadunna, King of Sitawaka. This is the only
wedding recorded in the annals history, as having been held in the Kandy
Maligawa with much pomp and pageantry. At his coronation and wedding,
Dominicus Corea was proclaimed, King of Kotte and Sitawaka by King
Wimaladharmasuriya-1. Dominicus took the name Edirimanasuriya.
