Majapahit's Royal Blood Feud: The Paregreg Civil War

In the early 15th century, the Majapahit Empire was shattered by a brutal civil war known as the Paregreg. This episode dives into the conflict between Wikramawardhana and Bhre Wirabhumi, fought from 1404 to 1406. We explore the causes—succession disputes after the death of King Hayam Wuruk—the key battle at Trowulan, and the aftermath that weakened Majapahit. Lucas and Luna discuss the regency of Queen Suhita, the role of the Wali Songo, and how the Paregreg paved the way for the rise of Demak. Specific details include the Pararaton chronicle, the Bhre titles, and the lasting impact on Javanese history. Listeners will learn how this internal conflict drained the empire's resources and set the stage for its eventual decline. #Majapahit #Paregreg #CivilWar #BhreWirabhumi #Wikramawardhana #HayamWuruk #Trowulan #Pararaton #QueenSuhita #WaliSongo #Demak #JavaHistory #SoutheastAsia #Empire #Medieval #FexingoHistory #History #Podcast #IndonesianHistory #GajahMada Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
