Majapahit's Demise: The Final Years and the Kingdom's End

Episode 88 revisits the twilight of the Majapahit Empire, focusing on the final decades of the 15th and early 16th centuries. Lucas and Luna explore the rise of the Demak Sultanate under Raden Patah, the shifting power dynamics on Java's north coast, and the last known king, Girindrawardhana. They discuss the key sources: the Babad Tanah Jawi, Tomé Pires's Suma Oriental, and archaeological evidence from Trowulan. The episode examines the role of the Wali Songo, the spread of Islam, and the gradual fragmentation of Majapahit's vassal states. A critical look at the known facts and lingering mysteries of the empire's collapse, without rehashing the earlier coverage of the Paregreg civil war or Bhre Wirabhumi. #Majapahit #DemakSultanate #RadenPatah #Girindrawardhana #WaliSongo #SumaOriental #TomePires #BabadTanahJawi #Trowulan #IslamicSpread #JavaHistory #15thCentury #16thCentury #SoutheastAsia #EmpireCollapse #History #FexingoHistory #Indonesia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
