Majapahit's Last King: Brawijaya and the Empire's Twilight

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the final decades of the Majapahit Empire through the figure of King Brawijaya, the last ruler before the fall. They discuss the historical and legendary accounts of his reign, including the rise of Demak as a rival Islamic sultanate, the role of the Wali Songo in spreading Islam, and the mysterious circumstances of Brawijaya's end. Did he convert to Islam, flee, or die? Using sources like the Babad Tanah Jawi and Tomé Pires' Suma Oriental, they separate fact from myth and examine how Majapahit's legacy shaped Java's cultural and political landscape. The episode also touches on the keris as a symbol of power and the decline of Trowulan. #Majapahit #Brawijaya #WaliSongo #Demak #BabadTanahJawi #SumaOriental #TomPires #Trowulan #Keris #IslamInJava #JavaneseHistory #SoutheastAsianHistory #MajapahitFall #PalapaOath #GajahMada #HayamWuruk #History #FexingoHistory #IndonesianHistory #SoutheastAsia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
