He was the last king of the Lambakanna dynasty. </p><p>Mittasena had a reputation as a plunderer of crops from farmers. King <a href="/wiki/Chattagahaka_Jantu_of_Anuradhapura" class="mw-redirect" title="Chattagahaka Jantu of Anuradhapura">Chattagahaka Jantu</a>'s Chief Minister orchestrated Mittasena's accession. The Chief Minister wanted to ascend the throne himself, but enthroned Mittasena as his puppet ruler. Mittasena was kept out of the sight of the public even though it was the custom of kings to participate in festive events. The Chief Minister kept the administration of the country in his hands.<sup><a href="/wiki/Mahinda_II_of_Anuradhapura#cite_note-:0-1" class="mw-redirect" title="Mahinda II of Anuradhapura">[1]</a></sup> </p><p>King Mittasena was said to be devoted to acts of piety. People initially tolerated the unusual absence of their king from public events. Then the people decided that they wanted to see if the king actually existed. So they besieged the palace and demanded to see their king. The Chief Minister had to allow Mittasena to appear in public on the State elephant. </p><p>After only one year from his accession, six <a href="/wiki/Tamils" title="Tamils">Tamil</a> chiefs invaded Sri Lanka with an army.
