I think he is form udayar community. That too is a Patta Peyar I believe. Since Trichy & Tanjore districts were ruled by Cholas, there is a chance that they might belong to udayar community.
Because Thevars belong to Madurai, Tirunelveli districts.
Again all these kings carried a lot of PATTA PEYAR with them.
It could be nice to know the community of the kings as they may shed some light on history.
I completely agree that community does nothing to the personality of a great man.

I dis agree.of course those days communities have something to do with the kingship
today it may not
lets be honest. cant we identify a common trend in memebrs of one community. some are good in maths , some in business some in language skills. some in physical work. this is due to inbreeding in the caste system. darwins selective breeding over years.for example the gene pool in england was limited. mainly because people were marrying only within locals. with the onset of the locomotive people from wales were marrying those in bristol. the genepool widened and progress started. in india even if a boy moves to Usa we bring him back and marry him off in the same caste. so I am sure kshatriya castes like thevars, maravars kallars must have had warring capacities in their blood and its not only due to training. just like the bania castes and business, or bramhin castes and learning. ofcourse even amidst them we had greats who stood apart in their communities and the world in large.
Very likely it should be the patta peyar given for some herioc deeds. For instance, my house name in my village is called "Thevar" house and my grand father name is Vijaya Ganapathy Thevar. This has nothing to do with the community. It is just that is was given in those days for some brave deeds
I saw this topic. I know it is old but wish to give my opinion.
Mukkulathor (3 clans) - Maravar, Kallar and Agamudayar
Maravar - Subcategory will be KaruMaravar,IlaMaravar, SembiNattuMaravar,KondayamKottaiMaravar etc. The Maravar generally use the title Thevar. This is a title given to a person or his family for heroic deeds. It is also a title which reflects the authority of the person. High population of Maravars can be found in areas like Ramanathapuram, Sivaganga, Madurai, Tirunelveli.
Kallar - They probably form the majority in the Mukkulathor. They have Pattai Peyar. People of the same Pattai Peyar do not intermarry. Examples of Pattai Peyar are Thondaiman, Sendapriyar, Alampriyar, Kandapillai, Vandayar, Kandiyar, Pinnudar. The Kallars form the majority in Thanjavur and Pudukottai. The Piranmalai Kallar are the oldest tribe in India.
Agamudayar - Many Agamudayar use the title Servai or Servaikaran. The Marudu Pandiar brothers belong to the Agamudayar clan. There is a another category of Agamudayar known as Raja Kulam Agamudayar. They are believed to be of royal lineage.
