Preah Ram II (died 1597), also known as Ram II Cau Ban Sur, was the Cambodian king who ruled from 1596 to 1597. He was an usurper.[1]
Preah Ram II was a son-in-law of Preah Ram I. He seized power after the death of his predecessor. He was assassinated in March (or April) 1597 by a rebel named Kaev Brah Bhloen, who proclaimed himself king in Phnom Penh.[1]
Learning about the death of Preah Ram II, the Spaniards attacked Cambodia and crowned Barom Reachea II as king in May 1597.[2]
