Youngest son of King Senarat he assumed the title of Emperor and proceeded to administer the whole of his father’s dominions as Emperor Raja Singha II, the last great Sinhala Monarch. King Raja Singha II, perceiving the difficulty that he would have to expel the Portuguese from Lanka, had sent an emissary to a Dutch settlement in India requesting assistance for the purpose of driving them from the Island. Eventually the Kandyan Treaty of 1638 which was a treaty of alliance was entered into between theKandyan Kingdom Ceylon, and the Dutch Republic signed by Kandyan King Raja Sinha II for Kandy and Adam Westerwold and William Jacobsz Coster, a commander and vice commander of the Dutch Naval Forces, for the Dutch East India Company. The treaty was signed on 23 May, 1638 in Batticaloa. The treaty secured the terms under which the two nations would cooperate in defending the Kandyan Kingdom from the Portuguese in the coastal area of the island. The main conditions of the treaty were that the Dutch should handover the coastal areas they capture to the Kandyan  king and the king should grant the Dutch a monopoly over export trade on the entire island including the Cinnamon Industry.  Raja Sinha II ordered cinnamon peelers to stay six miles away from Galle and sent for the Sinhalese chiefs of the area to explain their conduct in being friendly toward the Dutch.

 Mohottala of Mahawelatenne  was a minister under Raja Singha II who rebelled against the king and migrated south from the north of Kollone Korale and settled down near Kitulampitiya Galle, in Dutch territory.  One member of the family settled in Kollone. The Portugese had a fort near Balangoda.

As a Senior Solicitor General and Bribery Commissioner, Ian Wikramanayake reached the apex of his career. He could be emotional, and sometimes undiplomatic, which strained his relationship with the late Minister of Justice and Public Administration, Felix Dias Bandaranaike. He would disagree openly on various issues with the Minister; sometimes he was correct, but he lacked diplomacy in dealing with his superiors. He felt he deserved to be Attorney-General, when someone else was appointed. Ian felt he had shown enough dedication, commitment and loyalty to the Government and the Minister.

Balangoda is one of main cities that belongs to kadawatha mada korale in Rattnapura district. This area is bounded by the pettigala mountain range in the west, the steep crest of Detanagala known as the southern steep in the north and mahawalatenne plateau in the east. Dorawela oya and Belihuloya meet the Walawe River at Balangoda. The Way ganga originates at Mawela. Mahawelatenne which is the origin of Mahawelatenne family of mahawelatenne walawwa. they owned this whole village with 30,000 Acres. There it can see the Mahawelatenne Walawwa, where Late Madame Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike Ratwatte born and spend her childhood untill the marriage

 Mrs.Sirimavo Bandaranaike’s (1916 – 2000)  mother was a Mahawalatenne ( Rosalind daughter of Rata Mahatmaya S D Mahawalatenne and  Agnes Ellawala) , a direct descendant of the Quisling Mahawalatenne Mohottala, who was one of Governor Brownrigg’s stooges. In Uva, salt had to be transported from Palatupana by ox-cart. There was a cattle department for this purpose called theGon Badda. Brownrigg appointed Mahawalatenne as chief of the Gon Badda.

The British soldiers needed large supplies of beef. The Sinhalese refused to sell their cattle for slaughter. Mahawalatenne undertook to supply animals from Sabaragamuwa.

This Mahawalatenna took a prominent part in a pro-British agitation in Sabaragamuwa. He colluded with the collector at Galle to aid an army division to march on Uva where the Sinhalese chiefs were fighting to get rid of the British. Transport for this division was provided by Mahawalatenne and a supply depot was set up by him at Batugedera to which stores could be conveyed by water from Kalutara.

 

Vast acres of land in Balangoda, confiscated from the people, were gifted to Mahawalatenne for his many acts of treachery to his country.
