The Kingdom of Majapahit
Have you heard about Majapahit Kingdom in Indonesian history? Majapahit was a vast archipelagic empire located on the Eastern part of Java (1293 – 1500 AD).
East Javanese history was divided into three dynasty periods. The first was the period when the kings of Kediri ruled over Java in 10th – 1222 AD. They were then succeeded by the dynasty of Singasari (1222 – 1293 AD), which later was replaced by the kings of Majapahit (1293 – early 16th century).
Raden Wijaya was the son in law of Kertanegara, the last king of Singasari who had been murdered by Jayakatwang from Gelang-Gelang. Then Jayakatwang was defeated by Wijaya utilizing the Mongol armies, who came to Java to punish Kertanegara. Finally, by cunning tricks, Wijaya defeated the Mongols and drove them away. Then Wijaya ascended the throne as the finest king of Majapahit in 1293 AD.
