	Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sri Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma (April 16, 1813 - December 25, 1846) was a South Indian king of the state of Travancore, in India.
		Since Rama Varma was just seventeen months old when his mother died, Gowri Parvathi Bai ruled for fourteen years before Swati Tirunal took over as the king.

Munroe (who was the representative of the British East India Company) and his officials and declared in the Durbar that she was entrusting the British East India Company with the care of her child and expected the Company to co-operate with him in future.
