Louis IV., on whose See also:death in 1347 he was offered the German See also:throne, after it had been refused by See also:Edward III., king of See also:England. He was elected German king at See also:Frankfort on the 3oth of See also:January 1349 ' by four of the See also:electors, who were partisans of the See also:house of See also:Wittelsbach and opponents of See also:Charles of See also:Luxemburg, afterwards the emperor Charles IV. Charles, however, won over many of Gunther's adherents, defeated him at See also:Eltville, and Gunther, who was now seriously See also:ill, renounced his claims for the sum of 20,000 marks of See also:silver. He died three See also:weeks afterwards at Frankfort,
from the 26th of See also:February, A.D. 320. Chandragupta was succeeded by Samudragupta (c. A.D. 326—375), one of the greatest of See also:Indian See also:kings, who conquered nearly the whole of See also:India, and whose alliances extended from the See also:Oxus to See also:Ceylon; but his name was at one See also:- TIME (0.

time entirely lost to See also:history, and has only been recovered of See also:recent years from coins and See also:inscriptions. His See also:empire rivalled that of See also:Asoka, extending from the See also:Hugli on the See also:cast to the See also:Jumna and See also:Chambal on the See also:west, and from the See also:foot of the Himalayas on the See also:north to the See also:Nerbudda on the See also:south. His son Chandragupta II. (c. A.D. 375—413) was also known as Vikra-Maditya (q.v.), and seems to have been theoriginalof the mythical See also:Hindu king of that name. About 388 he conquered the See also:Saka See also:- SATRAP [Pers.

His See also:administration is described in the See also:work of Fa-hien, the earliest See also:Chinese See also:pilgrim, who visited India in A.D. 405-411. Pataliputra was the See also:capital of the See also:dynasty, but See also:Ajodhya seems to have been sometimes used by both Samudragupta and Chandragupta II. as the headquarters of See also:government. The See also:Gupta dynasty appears to have fostered a revival of See also:Brahmanism at the expense of See also:Buddhism, and to have given an impulse to See also:art and literature. The See also:golden See also:age of the empire lasted from A.D. 330 to 455, beginning to decline after the latter date.

White See also:Huns, on whom he inflicted a severe defeat, thus saving his See also:kingdom for a time; but about 470 the White Huns (see EPUTHALITES) returned to the attack, and the empire was gradually destroyed by their repeated inroads. When Skandagupta died about 480, the Gupta empire came to an end, but the dynasty continued to See also:rule in the eastern provinces for several generations. The last known See also:prince of the imperial See also:line of Guptas was Kamaragupta II. (c. 535), after whom it passed " by an obscure transition " into a dynasty of eleven Gupta princes, known as " the later Guptas of See also:Magadha," who seem for the most See also:part to have been merely See also:local rulers of Magadha. One of them, however, Adityasena, after the death of the See also:paramount See also:sovereign in 648, asserted his See also:independence. The last known Gupta king was Jivitagupta II., who reigned See also:early in the 8th See also:century. About the See also:middle of the century Magadha passed under the sway of the See also:Pal kings of See also:Bengal.
