Majapahit's Last True King: The Story of King Girindrawardhana
from Majapahit: The Empire That Once Ruled Indonesia — Fexingo History · host Fexingo
After the fall of Trowulan in 1527, the story of Majapahit doesn't quite end. This episode follows the shadow kingdom of King Girindrawardhana, who maintained a rump state in Kediri for decades after the capital's destruction. We explore the Daha campaign of 1478, the rise of Demak under Raden Patah, and the mysterious inscription at Wanasalam that hints at a different timeline for Majapahit's collapse. Lucas and Luna piece together the fragmentary evidence from the Babad Tanah Jawi, Portuguese records, and Javanese inscriptions to ask: was there a second Majapahit revival after 1478? And what happened to Girindrawardhana's line? A story of resilience, lost chronicles, and the blurred line between history and legend. #Majapahit #Girindrawardhana #Kediri #Demak #RadenPatah #Wanasalam #Daha #BabadTanahJawi #JavaneseHistory #SoutheastAsia #Trowulan #Inscriptions #PortugueseRecords #ToméPires #BhreKertabhumi #History #FexingoHistory #IndonesianHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
