Majapahit's Last Stand: The Fall of Trowulan in 1527

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the final years of Majapahit, focusing on the siege and fall of Trowulan in 1527. They discuss the rise of Demak under Raden Patah and his son Trenggana, the role of the Wali Songo in legitimizing the new Islamic kingdom, and the archaeological evidence—or lack thereof—for a dramatic conquest. The conversation touches on the Babad Tanah Jawi accounts, the Portuguese sources from Tomé Pires, and what the abandoned capital reveals about the empire's collapse. Lucas explains how internal strife after the Paregreg civil war left Majapahit vulnerable, and why Demak's takeover was more a political shift than a violent obliteration. They also consider the fate of the last king, Bhre Kertabhumi, and the enduring legacy of Majapahit in Javanese culture. #Majapahit #Trowulan #Demak #BhreKertabhumi #RadenPatah #Trenggana #WaliSongo #BabadTanahJawi #TomePires #FallOfMajapahit #1527 #JavaneseHistory #SoutheastAsianHistory #IslamicConquest #Paregreg #IndonesianHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
